From Rory melroy’s spectacular collapse at the 2011 Masters to the shocking stroke that marked Phil Mickelson’s lost US Open sometimes golf is filled with drama and meltdowns these are all the biggest meltdowns in PGA history starting with Rory’s big fumble oh boy this was Rory’s tournament to lose and
He did so in colossal style you see in 2011 a 21-year-old Rory mroy entered the final round at Augusta National with an advantage he appeared prepared to win his first major competition but he had a rocky beginning from which he never quite recovered truth be told Carl schwarz’s masterful 66 during the final
Round of the 2011 Masters competition deserves all the praise so I’m not taking anything away from it Rory had started the day four strokes in front but as he reached the back nine his advantage had been cut to one stroke he then lost six Strokes in three holes
Shooting triple on the 10th bogeying on the 11th and then making a four putt double bogey on the 12th the collapse was complete after one more par at the 15th hole for good measure how the Mighty Fall okay the northern Irishman wasn’t completely to blame only 41
Players who held at least a share of the 54 hole lead have won the Green Jacket at least mroy got even by winning the US Open later in the year yep he made a stunning comeback at the following major capturing the 2011 Us open at congression by eight Strokes now Dustin
Johnson’s had his fair share of meltdowns he just needed a par on his final hole to win his first major championship instead he bogied the last hole while holding a one-hot Advantage tying him for first and setting up a shootout even though he had a strong
Record at Pebble Beach and was in the lead going into the final round of the 2010 US Open Dustin admitted he was still nervous about this one and on that unlucky day his game fell apart after just two holes the emotional strain led to a total breakdown it was at Whistling
Straits DJ made birdies on the 16th and 17th holes to take a One-Shot lead but his approach on the 18th ended up in a waste area he hit his shot to the green while surrounded by Spectators then scampered for bogy to enter a playoff with Martin CER and Bubba Watson but
Behind the 18th green he was informed that he’ actually grounded his Club in the sand in viol of rule 13.4 and adding two more Strokes to his total he wasn’t the only one though two noteworthy collapses happened at Whistling Straits during the 2010 PGA Championship one was Dustin’s and the
Other was Nick watney’s which was a lot worse he entered the final round with a three-shot Advantage but fell apart right away during the action and scored a 43 on the front nine and double bogied the opening hole Watney was 11 overp par for the day when he arrived at the 15th
Green he finished the final round with two late birdies to close with an 81 moving him from first on the leaderboard all the way down to 18th at the end of the competition oopsies but wait I’m not done with Dustin Johnson who was unlucky yet again in 2015 he had a 12-ft putt
For eagle and his first major victory on the last green at the US Open and he missed it okay it happens then he needed four more feet to beat Jordan spe in a playoff but he also missed that his final score was four under which is especially disappointing given that he
Scored a 65 in the opening round of the competition to take the lead and even though his 2016 US Open victory at Oakmont was a three-point Victory to make up for it his 2015 collapse was shocking to say the least anyway it seems like 20110 was a year of meltdowns
As another happened with Hunter Mayan at Ryder Cup to be honest face in Graham McDow at the 2010 Rider cup would have been challenging for anyone let alone a guy from the American team Hunter manah who hadn’t played well overall at the end of the tournament was given the very
Tough job not sure how but yes Mayan was so ashamed of himself that he broke down in tears in front of the media this was after his mishandled pitch gave the Europeans the win but guess what man’s teammates and surprisingly the American Media supported him I think they all
Understood the pressure he was in which people were reminded of in the 2016 Masters Jordan spe won the Masters and when he made a Triumph and comeback to Augusta the following Year everyone was waiting for the Wonder kid to make the next crazy move in the final round the
Youngster had an advantage over Englishman Danny Willet even though he’d been his usual dominant self for the majority of the competition but then the nerves probably set in spe recorded backtack Bogies a quadruple Bogey and even hid one of his pitches into the water as one of the most public and
Heartbreaking meltdowns in PGA tour history his body language at the end of the round was comparable to Hunter mayhen poor guy he still didn’t have it as bad as Adam Scott though his four bogey run at Royal Liam over the final four holes was especially shocking and
Agonizing to watch I mean it was so unexpected and came from a player who was incredibly famous and for a good reason and one who appeared to have won the match with a long birdie put on the 14 in the end Ernie El’s prevailed by one stroke due to a combination of poor
Shot selection and nerves fortunately for Scott fans the Australian quickly recovered to take home the 2013 Masters title now if you think I’m not going to mention Tiger Woods you’re wrong he’s had two of the most memorable meltdowns in PGA history from 1998 to 2005 the
Exor’s best player made the cut in 142 straight PGA Tour competitions that Trend was put to the test at the 2006 US Open which Woods competed in despite his father’s recent passing in contrast to his normal Steely demeanor Woods was a bit of an emotional wreck the first two
Days on one fateful day he bogied his first three holes and never recovered sure he bounced back at his next tournament but he still missed the cut and this was when he was the Tiger Woods back then he was at the top of his career and was just having a rough few
Days but when we fast forward to his 2015 meltdown Woods was a player dealing with many injuries and off the course drama plus he hadn’t won in a major competition since the US Open in 2008 you can imagine the kind of hit your ego takes with that and it was clear to see
Woods shot a career worst 85 in the third round of that competition finishing 14 overpar to close the weekend in 71st Place oof now I wouldn’t be doing Justice to this video if I didn’t talk about Phil m nson the guy was known as the greatest player to
Never win that was until he won the Masters in US Open in 2004 the PGA Championship in 2005 luck wasn’t on his side this one fine day though Lefty was one hole away from capturing his third straight major at the 2006 US Open all he needed was a par to defeat Jeff Ogie
Instead of adopting a cautious strategy nichelson smacked a t-shot the only problem a tree stood in his way making it challenging for him to hit his second shot instead of hitting a low shot back onto the Fairway he tried to hit it around the tree guess what happened next
Didn’t work duh nichelson made a double shot on the hole and went on to lose the competition by one stroke it’s often referred to as Phil’s lost US Open and Jeff Ogie went on to win his only major championship an upset and a meltdown for the history books from Phil Mickelson’s
Unlucky stroke costing him a champ I ship to melroy’s disappointing performance at the 2011 Masters these are all the biggest meltdowns in PGA history
