With the 2015 British Open well underway, we've compiled some of the best golf clips from YouTube to celebrate the 155-year-old tournament. Let's hope the tournament can deliver another moment of golfing history as seen below...

1) Perhaps one of the most famous golf shots of the past 15 years, Tiger Woods’ putt on the 16th hole at the 2005 Masters has been forever immortalised largely. What’s more, the shot mattered as Woods went on to claim his fourth Masters title:

2) The "Miracle at Medinah" will be forever remembered as one of Europe’s finest moment in the tournament’s history. Watch as Europe produces one of the greatest comebacks to retain the cup:
