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

well danbrown, I still think a bit of humility and respect would help. and insulting people is not a solution, you just sound crude and impolite. I'd love to see the way you'd react should it happen to you (at golf, chess, tennis or whatever). by the way, he finished 2nd.

im not a golfer, he is a fucking loser and this is what he is remebered for

@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.

he could have played the entire hole with a 7i and still won had he kept it in the short stuff. dbl bogey to win? i could have done that haha

And yet there is beauty in failing sometimes. The intensity of drama is breathtaking here. Nowadays only sports can provide us with that.
