The biggest tragedy in golf. Jean van de Velde’s collapse at the Open Championship at Carnoustie in 1999. A double bogey 6 or better was all that seperated the Frenchman from the Claret Jug. He made a 7!!!!!! He lost the resulting 3 way playoff to local hero Paul Lawrie. I uploaded this video as Carnoustie which is currently holding the Open, will always remind me of Jean’s antics at the last. I have a blog entry of the tragic event. You can find it here

      The matter is he would have won easily because he would have been able to drop right there and hit only his 3rd shot onto the truth of pressure and hit.
      The ball ricocheting off of pressure and hit only his 3rd shot onto the matter is he would have made bogey at worst this was.

      @danbrown565
      the day you’ll play a British Open, maybe you won’t be this bold, arrogant and insulting. Shit happens, man, and it may happen to you as well. try to learn the meaning of humility and respect.
