This sport needs a lot of concentration so it’s pretty understandable why some people break Under Pressure but hey it doesn’t matter if you’re Dustin Johnson Rory mroy or Lou ousen because it happens to the best of them there are some pretty strange things that have majored and Championship leaders over
The years let’s look at the worst collapses in recent golf major championship history to start with Jordan spe 2016 Masters in 2016 spe had a five shot lead with nine holes left to play he was doing okay when he made Bogies on holes 10 and 11 but then he
Made a terrible quadruple bogy on the 12th by putting two balls in the water in the end he tied for second with Danny Willet spe later said that even though his mistake on number 12 got all the attention it was just bad timing and a
Flaw in his swing that had caused him to miss his shots Adam Scott 2012 Open championship at Royal Liam and S an’s Adam Scott seems like he was was doing a pretty good job at first he was four shots ahead going into the final round and it almost looked like he was going
To win his first major championship he was also four shots ahead with four holes left but he made four straight bogeys and missed a par putt on the last hole that would have put him in a playoff instead Ernie Ells won by one shot with a final round score of 68
Which included a birdie on hold 18 up next Rory mroy 2011 Masters mroy was trying to become the second youngest player to win The Masters and he almost had it at the Augusta National he started the day with a four-shot lead but the spark soon died down he was
Still tied for the lead going into the back nine though then McElroy tripled number 10 also four puted for a double bogey on number 12 and then his t- shot landed at race Creek on number 13 his hopes for a green jacket were gone followed by Dustin Johnson 2010 PGA
Championship Dustin Johnson needed to get up and down on the the 18th hole at Whistling Straits to win his first major but he couldn’t really do it all hope was lost though because it looked like he still had a chance to win a playoff with Martin CER and Bubba Watson but
Again he didn’t make it to the postseason either what happened was that he accidentally hit his Club into a bunker on his second shot which cost him two strokes at the end of the round moving on Nick Watney 2010 PGA Championship Watney blew everyone away at Whistling Straits by making five
Birdies in the first seven holes this gave him a six underpar score of 66 and a three- shot lead all was good when the day began but it didn’t take long for it to go away to get an 81 he had to make birdies on holes 16 and 17 but he messed
It all up when a photographer’s camera flash on his back swing on the par 37th made him nervous and sent his t- shot into Lake Michigan next Phil Mickelson 2006 Us open at the 2006 US Open Phil Mickelson had 286 Strokes six of them came on winged foot’s last hole when he
Needed four to win and five to go to a playoff all mikkelson needed was a par on the 18th T at Wingfoot to win his first US Open and also a third major in a row instead he ended up making a double bogey which automatically made Jeff Ogie the winner not to mention
Colin Montgomery 2006 US Open guess what mikkelson wasn’t the only player to mess up the US Open in 2006 Montgomery had another chance to win his first major championship at the same 2006 US Open which was held at the West course of the Wingfoot Golf Club but sadly he wasn’t
Able to he missed the playoff with one stroke because his second shot on ho 18 was short he then shipped on and made three putts let’s look at ratif gusen 2005 US Open gusen was the only player to shoot under par as he tried to win
His second US Open championship in a row and third title overall he had a three-stroke lead going into the final round at Pinehurst but he also ended up losing six Strokes on the first nine holes he was still in the running but his five bogeys on the back took away
All of his chances after making scores of 68 70 and 69 in the first three rounds gusen shot an 81 which was 11 Strokes over par so because of this he fell down the leaderboard and Michael Campell won his first major with a score of 69 coming up Justin Leonard 2004 PGA
Championship at wrestling straights Justin Leonard had a lot of chances to win but he just couldn’t do it first he missed a 10-ft putt for a birdie on whole 15 that would have given him a three- shot lead then on hole 16 he missed a 5- foot par Putt and then later
On ho 18 he hit his second shot from the Fairway into thick grass just short of the Green in the end he lost to VJ Singh who could keep his aame next Thomas Bjorn 2003 Open Championship Thomas Bjorn the man they call the Great great danne literally felt sick after letting
A major opportunity slip through his fingers like sand he was ahead by three with four holes left to play at Royal St George’s he made a bogey on number 15 but he really fell apart on number 16 where it took him three shots to get out
Of a pot bunker and he made a double bogey all was lost when he made a bogey on whole 17 and Ben Curtis ended up beating him by a shot up next Jean Van devela 1999 Open Championship Jean Van Velda was pretty close to winning the 1999 British Open at KUSI because he
Just needed a double bogey on ho 18 his third shot on hole 18 landed in the barry burn and for a second he thought about hitting out of the water but he took a penalty and hit his fifth shot into a bunker he then got up and down
For a triple bogey which he ended up losing to Paul Lowry followed by Kenny Perry 1996 PGA Championship Kenny Perry lost in the 1996 PGA championship at Valhalla CC because he played the first playoff hole like he had well spent over 30 minutes in a TV Booth after Brooks
Made an up and down birdie to tie Perry thought he had time to hit some warm-up shots instead he was taken straight to the te of the par 518 where he hit his t- shot into deep grass on the left and never got it out in the end Brooks won
With a birdie and Perry was just left to wonder what might have been moving on Greg Norman 1996 Masters Greg Norman was doing good while being six Strokes ahead of Nick falo going into the last round honestly all Norman had to do to win the green jacket was shoot even par but
There was no way Norman could win when his t- shot on the par 316th hole also went into the water faldo’s round of 67 was the best of the day while Norman’s round of 78 was one of the worst to be honest together they made the biggest comeback SL collapse in Masters history
Next John Cook 1992 open champion ionship John Cook was close to winning his first major tournament in the 1992 British Open at mirfield in Scotland in the final round he was ahead by two strokes so all he had to do was make a two- foot birdie putt on number 17 and
Par putt on number 18 and he would have won the Claret jug but he missed the Putt and made a bogey on whole 18 he finished one stroke behind Nick Faldo who ended up winning instead not to mention Scott hotch 1989 Masters Scott hotch had a tw- foot putt to make in a
Sudden death playoff to win the 1989 Masters he won the tournament in regulation with a birdie putt on the 18th but he choked and missed it so in the end falo won the tournament by making a 25ft birdie putt on the second playoff hole it seemed like hch made a
Major championship mistake when he missed that short part putt finally TC Chen 1985 usop Chan himself said that the genuine mistake he made at Oakland Hills was the shot before his double hit after four holes TC Chen was leading the 1985 Us open at Oakland Hills outside of
Detroit by four shots but then it went down on the fifth hole when Chen double hit a chip out of the rough and made an eight he also made bogeys in the last two holes making it easy for Andy North to beat him and on that note that’s a
