The hour-long documentary details the story of a 59-year-old Tom Watson looking to pull off one of the most improbably wins in history, only to fall short to Stewart Cink in a playoff at Turnberry in 2009. Needing a par putt to secure the Championship, Watson was painfully close to an astonishing underdog triumph, his errant effort and subsequent unravelling in a four-hole play-off allowing Cink to prevail. Underdogs features in-depth interviews with both players and eyewitness accounts from those fortunate enough to be inside the ropes, serving as a fascinating retelling of one the most dramatic duels in The Open's long and storied history. -NBC SPORTS-
