CHICAGO – Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com audio film review on “The Phantom of the Open,” a new film about an unlikely entrant (Mark Rylance) into golf’s prestigious British Open. in the groovy 1970s. It “opens” in select theaters on June 10th, 2022, see local listings.
 Rating: 4.0/5.0 |
The “phantom” in the story is Maurice Flitcroft (Rylance) and the “open” is the British Open. In 1976, through a twist of fate that could only happen in those halcyon 1970s, Flitcroft – a crane operator for a factory – was able to slip through the bureaucracy of golf and enter the tournament, shooting a record setting high score of 121 for 18 holes in the qualifying round. Despite his horrible golf, he became a folk hero to the Brits, the world and most importantly his sons and wife Jean (Sally Hawkins).
