it insults everyone's IQ!!!!
he puts a bunch of em in the water then puts the last one in the hole?!!
WTF?!
At least he should have put it on the green, but ooooh no, Costner eats his own *beep* EGO!!!
FU COSTNER!!!
I can't think of something that will make you remember my quote.
Im sorry im just not following, you're getting mad at Kevin for an ending?! woah...
shareyeah he made this *beep*
I can't think of something that will make you remember my quote.
You have got serious issues. You are saying "FU Costner" for and ending? You need help
shareLOL - really.
Personally, I loved the ending.
Thrilling, and very 'unique'. But maybe that's just me...

Wait a minute... who am I here?
LOL - If Adolf Hitler could communicate with us from the spirit world, he might just argue that World War II had a worse ending.
It's funny how people either love the ending of "Tin Cup" or think it's one of the worst endings ever.
It seems to be about a 50/50 split here.
Can you think of another movie where half the audience loves the ending and half the audience thinks it's terrible?
The ending is one of the best ever. It's not another average golf game and playing it safe, it's him against that one hole that has been getting the best of him and he didn't play it's game, he did it his way and proved everyone wrong. It summed up exactly who he was. It was great.
shareMy thoughts exactly.

I, for one, didn't know he'd make it with enough tries.
In fact, had he NOT made it on that final shot, that would have been it - game over. Disqualification.

I kinda liked that he was able to have a small victor when he lost. Winning would have been a little unoriginal...while losing outright would have been a little depressing. It was a nice mix of the two.

He would not have been disqualified. He could borrow balls from another player or even buy them from the pro shop. With the later he may have been penalized for slow play (not sure) but he still would not have been DQ'ed.
Also brings up the question of how the announcers would know he is down to his last ball unless they could read lips or an on course commentator like McCord was close by. Been awhile since I saw this movie so I'm not sure if that was the case.
This isn't a round with friends. You can't just borrow a ball or buy more. In the PGA, you are given a set amount of balls to start the round, and if you run out, that's it.
shareThat is totally incorrect. In the 2011 Australian Open John Daly ran out of balls (deliberately in frustration) and walked off the course. The rules official said “If you run out of golf balls, and you are acting in a professional manner, you will call a rules official and we will get the type of ball he is playing with and replenish his stock,”
Here is another answer found on the PGA's website:
Is there a limit to the number of balls a PGA TOUR player can have in his bag during a tournament?
... there is nothing in the Rules that limits the number of golf balls that can be carried by a player or his caddie.
Lastly, USGA Rule 5 provides that a player may get a new supply of golf balls from any source provided that it does not unduly delay play (Rule 6-7)
As a side comment, the rules do prohibit the borrowing of clubs e.g. "Rule 4-4 (Decision 5-1/5)"
It's not possible to say it's a bad final cause it follow what we expected from a guy like him. If he won the Open it would be a classic boring final but loosing the Open he showed all the people that Golf is not always arrive first and win the million dollar, but also performing an immortal 12th that as the girl said will be remember forever. And anyway he became the boyfriend of the girl he loved.
shareHe already had the girl so the hole didnt help.
And dont get me wrong I love this movie, but the ending did show that he really didnt learn anything.
And nobody will forget that moment because he will always be the guy who melted down on the last hole of the US open and gave up millions and a chance to win the open, but managed to make a crazy shot on his very last try.
Whoopidy Doo!!!
I think that the plot want him to not learn anything cause if it would do it it would be become just like Simms, a rich happy soulless robot... :D
Anyway a big big compliment for the soundtrack that is responsible of the great emotions during the movie.
Totally agree about the soundtrack. For me it really helps make the film one of my favorites.

Wait a minute... who am I here?
give up millions? any idea of the kind of sponsorship he would get from that shot? it made him a STAR. the money he would've won from that tournament PALES in comparison to the subsequent money he will no doubt receive after immortalizing himself that day. get a clue -_-.
shareYou get a clue you moron. Its not impressive if takes you shooting it over and over and over. If it was basketball and some guy on a team decided he wanted to make a shot from the other end of the court and tried 10 times finally making it on the last try it wouldn't be impressive at all. They would lose the game and everyone would talk about how stupid he was. If you think everyone would want to sponsor that then....well I already said it...you're a moron.

It reflects a different view of golf, and life. Do you play it safe to "win" under the rules of the game? Or do you take risks to have brilliant moments? One can argue both ways. One can argue he "won" at least as much as if he had come in second.
To the dunce who is the OP...FYI...Kevin Costner DID NOT write the script...did NOT figure out the end...and nobody cares if you go on a tirade either. The end was a great ending. Very appropriate. Go diss somebody else's movie.
shareRead the trivia. It's based on an actual event.
sharePeople can't handle non-Hollywood endings. He was supposed to lay up, hit a great wedge shot in, make a 9 foot birdie putt, and win the tournament. Of course I am being facetious.
shareI think it's great that a movie can generate all these extreme emotions on these boards. I love this film: Top 10!!
"It's like I'm talking to my Aunt Sylvia here!"
Snelling, I agree with you. Just watched it again on cable, which is why I'm sure some folks have posted on here. Whether people like the ending or not, it's enough for them to jump on here and express their opinions about it.
This movie has a lot of meaning to me. I'm from West Texas and have an old friend that was asked to write a song for this movie, which did end up on the soundtrack. I'm a musician as well. I was performing at a club in The Woodland, TX, just north of Houston. Dark and quiet little place. Anyways, Kevin walked in with his parents and they sat down to eat. So, I played a song that was in an old movie of his. And at a certain part, I stopped the song and said the quote Kevin's character said in the movie. He caught it, and started laughing. At the end of the song, he walked up and put a hundred dollar bill in my tip jar. In a low voice, he told me, "That was classic. Thanks for that." I spoke with him briefly on my break. He said he was in town working on a movie, shooting some golf scenes at The Woodlands Golf Course, which is where they they filmed the U.S. Open sequence, though it's supposed to be North Carolina. His parents asked if I knew any Buddy Holly. I laughed and told them I was a West Texas boy and from Buddy's hometown. Kevin laughed and told me I would like this movie, as part of it takes place in West Texas. We had a good laugh about that. I played them two Buddy Holly songs, before they came up, thanked me and went on their way. So, I knew I had to see this at the theater when it came out.
Other than Putt Putt, I'm not a golfer, nor am I a big fan. But, you don't have to like golf to love this movie. It's the character and the story that's simply so entertaining. To this day, one of my favorite saying is "Greatness courts failure, Romeo." And I actually own a 7-iron, for no real great reason. Haha!

Well frankly I hate sports movies with the cliqued underdogs that come out of nowhere to win the championship, unless (like "Remember the Titans!" or "Hoosiers") it's based on real champions overcoming incredible adversity.
That's why I love this movie and the only other one like it that I know of, "Bad News Bears" where the "favorite" actually doesn't win.
Did you know that in "The Natural" story, Roy Hobbs strikes out his last at bat?
Modern socialism is when corporate jets land [at Reagan Airport] in DC. -JK Gilbraith, 1983
Except, that's not this movie. He doesn't lose because he's not good enough. He loses because he's an idiot who can't let go of his ego and compromise for his own betterment.
I absolutely love this movie, and love that he doesn't win the open, but i'd have much preferred the ball roll up to a foot and he has a tap in. For it to go in the whole to me was like "we don't want a hollywood ending, but we're going to sneak one in anyway"
shareThis movie was great until it got near the end. It started to get weaker at the tournament, and then it fell apart on the last hole.
shareExcept, that's not this movie. He doesn't lose because he's not good enough. He loses because he's an idiot who can't let go of his ego and compromise for his own betterment.Exactly. It would be like a basketball team being down by 1 point in the last few seconds of the game and instead of taking the wide open, uncontested lay-up, they jack up a 30ft jumper. That team would be labled as a bunch of *beep* who know nothing about game strategy even if the shot went in. share
Haha No. It would be like a guy deciding to make a shot from the other end of the court...trying 10 times...and finally making it his last try. They would lose the game and everyone would call him an idiot. Nobody would be impressed. He would be remembered though...as the dumbest man to ever play the game lol.
