THE PHANTOM OF THE OPEN tells the remarkable true story of Maurice Flitcroft, a crane operator and optimistic dreamer from Barrow-in-Furness who, with the support of his family and friends, managed to gain entry to the 1976 British Open qualifying, despite never playing a round of golf before. With pluckiness and unwavering self-belief, Maurice pulls off a series of stunning, hilarious and heartwarming attempts to compete at the highest level of professional golf, drawing the ire of the golfing elite but becoming a British folk hero in the process.
“With its amusing training montages, colorful supporting characters, and uplifting message of perseverance, “The Phantom of the Open” does exactly what you expect it will in the most familiar, comforting manner imaginable.” Christy Lemire, RogerEbert.com
