- Inspirational Speech Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows.

But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! Now if you know what you're worth then go out and get what you're worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain't you! You're better than that!

However, this does not stop Francis Ouimet from participating in the U.S. Open as an amateur. Most of the movie shows the games that Francis played in the U.S. Open and how he competed against top players at that time like the British golf champions Harry Vardon and Ted Ray. After a compelling tie-breaker at the end, Francis wins the U.S. Open and is the first amateur to do so. He is lifted into the air by the crowd to celebrate his success and people pass around his hat to give him tips. While Francis is happy with his success, he does not accept anyone's tip and suggests that they tip his caddie (Eddie Lowery). However, he does accept only one note as a tip, and it is shown to be his father, who has tears in his eyes due to joy.
