In the early 1900's, golf was a game played by wealthy and privileged gentlemen; not by the working class. Francis Ouimet (LaBeouf) was not one of the wealthy, but he had a love for the game and a natural ability that one could not deny. With the U.S. Open being played in Francis' home town, the young unknown qualified to go up against the favored British competitors and his idol Harry Vardon (Dillane). And with his 10-year-old caddy Eddie (Flitter) by his side, Francis had the golf world in suspended disbelief as he played to win. This true story is based on Mark Frost's book "The Greatest Game Ever Played." (Tricia Spears)
