No matter how good you are at golf you will choke at one point it’s basically a ride of Passage and well if it happens at a tournament know that it’s going to be a lasting memory some chokes just stand out more from others so in this
Video we’re going to take a look at 10 of the biggest chokes in golf history firstly at number 10 we have Lorena ooya at the 2005 US Women’s Open Lorena ooya made one of the worst drives at probably the worst moment what made things even
Worse for her was that she did this at a major tournament it happened on the e8th hole of the 2005 US Women’s Open she had come back from a long way behind and was in a position to win or at the very least make a playoff at Cherry Hills the
18th hole requires golfers to aim towards the right so they cut off part of the lake and hit the ball to the Fairway unfortunately aoa’s Drive never even made it to the ground yikes her driver landed a few inches behind the ball creating a divot and then flew up
Into the ball the ball swerved to the left and plummeted right into the lake let’s just say that ball did not make it back up next at number nine Scott hul at the 1989 Masters everyone agrees that Scott hul should have really won a major championship at the 1989 Masters but he
Made a huge blunder which cost him basically everything hul was one stroke ahead of Nick falo at number 17 but he missed a rather short par Putt and slip back into a tie because Hoke and Faldo scores on number 18 were the same they headed to a sudden death playoff Faldo
Labored to a bogey five on the first hole of the playoff number 10 at Augusta National hul on the other hand had a birdie Putt and could win The Masters with just a two- putt hul made a three- putt his birdie putt rolled a little way
Past the cup around 18 in to 30 in however hoax par putut was no more than 2 and 1/2 ft in the end Alo hit a 25-footer on the very next hole and won the major at number eight Dustin Johnson at the 2010 US Open Dustin Johnson lost
The 2010 PJ Championship because of a very controversial bunker rule the Pebble Beach was a complete nightmare for Johnson which is why it’s surprised that he actually won the last two PJ events held there he was winning against Gran McDow by three shots going into the round Johnson on the other hand triple
Bogie the second hole and then double bogy the third Johnson’s final round 82 dropped him to T8 while McDow held on to win the the event moving on at number seven we have Sam Sneed at the 1947 Us open in his long and successful career
Slam and Sam won a record 82 PGA Tour tournaments including seven Majors but he never actually won the US Open and his 1947 playoff defeat was one of four runner-up results for Sneed in the event sne just needed to par the last hole to win the US Open in 1939 but he triple
Bogi it he needs a birdie to qualify for the playoff in 1947 and he snaked in an 18-footer to do so Sneed has a two-stroke Advantage with three holes to play in the 18-hole playoff with blue waram but he surrendered both of those shots and the two reached number 18 tied
Sneed and Worsham both reached the 18th Green in two and faced relatively short putts of identical distances for birdies sneed’s putt was barely 2 and 1/2 ft long and he chose to putt first Worsham interfered and stopped play as Sneed was about to putt he wasn’t sure if Sneed
Was actually away and got a measurement to decide who should putt it first turns out Sneed was in fact away so Sneed got another chance and missed after all that Worsham went anyway with his putt for number six Greg Norman at the 1996 Masters Greg Norman probably had the
Worst possible luck in his generation and blew a bunch of his tournaments Norman dominated the first three rounds of the 1996 Masters setting a course record with a 63 in the opening round he led Nick valdo by six shots going into the final round but Norman’s lead vanished quickly and he never recovered
From it while falo was shooting a 67 Norman was shooting five bogeys and two double Bogies Norman’s Destiny for failure seemed set when he hit his t- shot into the water on number 12 Norman finished with a 78 against Faldo 67 changing a six- shot lead into a
Five-stroke deficit up next Mark covia at the 1991 Ridder cup for number five one of the worst chokes ever was Mark calavia at the 1991 Ryder Cup the ryer cup was actually dubbed the war on the shore because the Americans couldn’t win the cup in the previous three
Competitions now this wasn’t really what Team USA was used to at all since they played really well at the time covia was up against Colin Montgomery and Cal it really seemed like Calia would win because he looked like he was in great shape he was four up with four holes to
Play Cal’s win or even a half on either of the next four holes would be enough to win the cup for America but instead the golfer lost all four holes and haved the match Cala went away from the 18th green down into the shore and slumped
Right into the sand at this point he was sure he’d lost the rder cup for Team USA and so were we but he was spared from becoming a forever Outcast when Bernard Langer missed a six- foot par putt on the last hole of the cup this HED him
With Hal Irwin and allowed the United States to reclaim the cup now for number four Ed Sneed at the 1979 Masters Sam Sneed has been a very consistently good player for years in 1979 was his opportunity at a major at first things were going really well he had the final
Round with a five-stroke advantage and maintained the lead for the majority of the day keyword majority it all came crashing down near the end with a three shot lead and three holes remaining sne bogy the 16th 17th and 18th Holes his power putts on 16 and 17 came to a halt
Just on the lip sne came painfully close again on the number 18 he would have earned the green jacket with the par but with a bogey and a 76 total for the fourth round sne was forced to play in a playoff for number three we have Adam
Scott at the 2012 British Open Adam Scott had always played consistently well so it was kind of weird that he still hadn’t won a major yet but when he finally participated in the 2021 British Open he might have had a chance at winning the major but as the tournament
Went on we all found the actual reason why he had never won he literally opened by shooting 64 in the very first round Scott started the fourth round with a four-stroke lead and seemed to be in command throughout Scott had a four-stroke lead and was five Strokes
Clear of Ernie Ells when he stood on the 15th T Ells who was a couple of groups ahead scored a birdie on the 16th to come within four strokes of Scott Scott’s game went downhill from there he bogied the final four shots while ell’s rebounded for a One-Shot Victory with a
Birdie on the last after all this in the 2012 British Open Scott actually managed to win a major at the 2013 Masters guess he finally learned from his mistakes or number two Phil Mickelson at the 2006 US Open Phil mikkelson joined the 2006 Us open at Winged Foot and intending to go
For his fourth career Major the third in a row he actually almost got it but then he went back to his older in more aggressive ways his driver failed him all around but he kept hitting it anyway after his driver his decision- making also deserted him on the final hole as
He stepped on the 18th T mikkelson held a one-stroke lead he drew the driver again after hitting only two Fairways all day and once again he failed miserably his Drive striking the ceiling of a Hospitality tent and bouncing Into The Spectator area later on he shot another massive slice but this time it
Landed in a back bunker and not even mikkelson’s short game skill could save him he double bogied his way out of the playoffs after that horrendous performance the I’m such an idiot yes we can all agree on that one finally at number one we have Jean vandeveld 1999
British Open Jean Vander was one of the best European golfers of his time but even the best players have their bad moments he is well known for a shocking collapse of the 1999 Open championship at Carusi vandeveld required a double bogey at the 18th T to seal the victory
A poor shot off the te that was well off aim vandeveld chose the green instead of the safe shot he struck a grand stand bounced off the Barry burn wall and ended up in some awful rough this only got worse and worse later on when his
Fifth shot landed in a bunker that’s a wrap for today’s video which one of these was the worst choke in golf history make sure to let us know in the comments down below as always don’t forget to give this video a thumbs up and click the Subscribe button for more
