SYNOPSIS: From the studio that brought you "The Rookie" and "Miracle"
and director Bill Paxton, comes a story of courage, passion
and of the greatest American sports hero you have probably
never heard of ...

An amateur player from a working class family, Francis Ouimet
-- played by Shia LaBeouf ("Holes") -- shocked the golf world
when at the 1913 U.S. Open, flanked by his 10-year-old caddie,
he defeated his idol, the defending British champion Harry
Vardon -- played by Stephen Dillane. An unlikely match-up --
"the ingenue versus the seasoned champ" -- theirs was the
greatest match the sport had ever known.

Caught between a world of hardship and a beckoning life of
privilege, Francis needed to prove his unfailing will and
ability to make it to the tournament. Elias Koteas
("Traffic," "Ararat") plays Francis' tough, hardworking
father. Newcomer Peyton List is Sarah Wallis, the beautiful
young woman, who catches Francis' heart. Josh Flitter is
Eddie Lowery, the pint sized caddie who helps Francis find his
way through the troublesome fairways to victory.
