The Phantom Of The Open review

As fuzzy and reassuring as a multi-coloured Pringle sweater-vest, The Phantom Of The Open is an old-fashioned crowd-pleaser. Based on a true story, it stars Mark Rylance as Maurice Flitcroft, a Barrow-in-Furness crane-operator turned novice golfer, who - on multiple occasions - blagged his way into the British Open.
