根据当时的纪录，Francis Ouimet是一个被特别许可参加1913年美国高尔夫公开赛的业余选手，带着一个10岁大的小球童，却击败了当时极负盛名的英国选手Harry Vardon。当时的英方俱乐部和媒体给了Harry Vardon很大的压力，对这个美国奖杯是势在必得，结果却败给了名不见经传的Francis Ouimet，成为了高尔夫球历史上的一段传奇故事，这也就是影片名称的由来。 Brian Tyler的这部配乐算是他少有的“欢快”类型的作品，按常理来看这样的影片似乎不应该找他来配乐，不过Tyler和导演Bill Paxton（话说找Paxton来导演也有点奇怪^^）的亲密关系是他得到了这个不错的机会。序曲“Main Title Overture”中的主旋律非常耳熟，很明显有James Horner的《燃情岁月 Legends of the Fall》的影子，一样的结构一样的演奏方式，听着给人一种喷薄欲出的感觉。反复使用的提琴的快速拉弦带来了足够的紧张气氛，而又给人一种亢奋的感觉，而几曲钢琴低沉舒缓的优美旋律又很好的展现了柔和凄美，尤其是“Broken Dreams”，非常的浪漫，就像是一首爱情旋律。而“And Then There Were Three”中小号和军鼓的应用把那种激昂振奋的心情带到最高点，仿佛一触即发。Brian Tyler的作品一向都非常“可听”，欣赏性很高，虽然这部配乐有不少疏漏和细节处理不当的地方，但是并不影响我们欣赏，配乐和影片的配合度也相当高，一反他惯有的风格给我们带了小小的惊喜。 　　Actor/director Bill Paxton 's weepy golf drama concerning the underdog-led 1913 U.S. Open is treated with ample sentimentality and sepia-tone goodness by composer Brian Tyler ( Bubba Ho-Tep , Darkness Falls , Constantine ). With echoes of similarly themed sports dramas like The Natural , Miracle , and Field of Dreams , Tyler's score is rousing, lush, and romantic to a fault, with a sweeping main theme that conjures up images of trophies being thrust into the air with credits rolling over them. Tyler, to his credit, doesn't fully succumb to the "soaring strings" complex, as his tendency to insert liberal amounts of piano and acoustic guitar give the soundtrack a much needed identity. Opera star Dawn Upshaw and an almost sneering Joe Jackson -- he also appears briefly in the film -- perform a couple of standards, "The Band Played On" and "Hello Hello Who's You're Lady Friend," respectively, while Jackson contributes his own "Angel" for Upshaw to sing.
