An amateur player from a working class family, Francis Ouimet (Shia LaBeouf, Holes) needed to prove his unfailing will and ability to make it to the tournament.  He shocked the golf world at the 1913 U.S. Open, when, flanked by his 10-year-old caddy (Josh Flitter), he defeated his idol, the defending British champion Harry Vardon (Stephen Dillane).  An unlikely match-up – the ingénue versus the seasoned champ – theirs was the greatest match the sport had ever known.  The movie also features Elias Koteas (Traffic, Ararat) as Francis’s tough, hardworking father, and newcomer Peyton List as Sarah Wallis, the beautiful young woman who catches Francis’ heart.
