Another memorable capitulation. Dufner wasted a five-stroke lead coming down the stretch at the Atlanta Athletic Club, hitting his tee shot at 15 into the water before ending with three straight bogeys. That was still good enough to make a play-off. But Dufner lost it to Keegan Bradley. Exorcised his demons with a two-stroke victory at Oak Hill in the US PGA two years later.
One of the most famous collapses in major history. Sneed finished bogey-bogey-bogey to blow his lead and head into a sudden death play-off with Tom Watson and debutant Fuzzy Zoeller. It was the latter who triumphed (still the last debutant to win the Masters, although Ludvig Aberg went mightily close this year). Sneed never won a major. At least McIlroy has four of them.
An absolute horror show from ‘DJ’ in the final round of the US Open at Pebble Beach in 2010. Beginning the day with a three-shot lead, Johnson hit a triple-bogey at the second and things went downhill from there. A double-bogey followed at the third. And six more bogeys over the course of the day saw him card an 11-over-par score to finish five behind winner Graeme McDowell. DeChambeau was far less generous to McDowell’s fellow Northern Irishman McIlroy.
