Greatest Golf Collapses and Chokes of All Time (Part 2)

Golf entails an extreme level of mental challenges that must be overcome in order to succeed at the highest level. Unlike team sports, golfers do not have teammates to bail them out if they don't perform; it's all on them. One mistake can lead to a compound of errors that can be difficult to defeat, and even just one miscue can cost a player a championship.
However, some of the players in this video found redemption. I.K. Kim won the Women’s British Open in 2017. Kyle Stanley staged an 8 shot comeback the following week to win his first PGA Tour event at the Waste Management Phoenix Open. Retief Goosen won the 2001 U.S. Open the following day in an 18 hole Monday playoff over Mark Brooks. Even with Mark Calcavecchia's collapse, the U.S. was able to hold on to win the Ryder Cup 14.5 to 13.5. Tom Watson would go on to win 8 major championships after his collapse. Ben Hogan would go on to win 9 majors after his choke at The Masters. Patty Sheehan won 4 majors after her 1990 collapse, including two U.S. Open victories. She was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1993. Lorena Ochoa won two majors after her collapse, and was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2017. Thanks for watching, I hope you enjoy the video.
Jean van de Velde, Greg Norman, and other collapses are in Part 1.

I can relate to how tough this is, I've been there ! I was playing in a close one years ago, leading by one stroke, going into the par 3, 18th. Off the tee, I hit the dinosaur's foot, then the windmill blade on the second shot. It would take five putts, before that blue ball finally dropped in the cup. My wife won by a stroke and it would be months, before I could muster the courage to play Adventure Golf again. I never fully recovered.

When I was 18 in 1972, and about a 7-handicap, I started a round of golf having birdied 3 of the first 4 holes. Had a 6-footer on #6 to go to 4 under. Rammed it by and missed the 4-footer coming back. I started thinking about my score and everything fell apart. I had 5 birdies that day and shot 9 over par for 18. I returned to the same course some 30 years later, playing a round with my brother-in-law, and told him about my collapse in 1972 as we were walking down the 1st fairway. Crazy thing was I again birdied 3 of the first 4 holes. This time however I ended up shooting 1-over for 18 holes, so I wasn't too disappointed. If you play golf long enough, you're going to choke sometimes just playing casual golf with nothing on the line. I have a lot of compassion for the pros who collapse and miss out on wins that could be life changing.

[@nicholasschroeder3678]

Goalby's reaction says it all. A true athlete: he wanted to win with his clubs, not by some pencil mistake. It was a stupid rule to enforce under the circumstances since countless people had actually seen him make the 3. What puzzles me about the rule and the decision is this: what if he'd actually scored a 4 on the hole, but Aaron had written 3, and De Vicenczo had signed for that. Surely THAT score wouldn't stand. No, they'd intervene and disqualify him because he'd actually scored 4. But that contradicts the idea that you can't retroactively adjust the scorecard to comport with the actual facts. Stupid, stupid rule.

Thomas McCarrick JB Holmes really didnt have a great chance going into. It was a terrible round though and i remember him shooting something in the 80s in 2017 Players when he started the day with the lead

[@thomasmccarrick4169]

Frills 31 What about Rocco Mediate 2006 Masters. He was tied for the lead after 11 and then made a 10 on the twelfth.

[@golffocus]

Hey Thomas, yeah both Holmes and Wie are in the discussion, but I didn’t include them for a few reasons. Though JB was in 3rd to start the day, he was 6 shots back. Barring an incredible round, it would have been very difficult for him to win, which is why I did not include him. You are right though, an 87 is certainly a terrible round. I didn’t include Michelle Wie because she was just a 15 year-old amateur at the time. You’re right, both are bad collapses, I just chose not to include them in this video because of the circumstances and because I didn’t want to make the video too long, so I had to make some cuts. Rocco is an interesting one. He was tied for the lead at -4 after he made the turn, but if I’m not mistaken, by the time he got to the 12th tee he was 3 back of the lead thanks to a bogey on 11 and back-to-back birdies from Mickelson on 7 and 8. However, you could definitely make a case for this one given he was tied for the lead with just 9 holes to play.

Tommy Aaron wrote it down. He was Roberto's playing partner. De Vincenzo signed for it, which under the rules means it stands. (If he had signed for a lower score than he deserved, the penalty is disqualification). The decision to let the rule stand was made by none other than Bobby Jones, the great '20s legend and the father of the Masters tournament. He was an invalid at the time and the officials brought the situation to him and he said they had to play by the rules.

Fair play to ik kim for going on and winning the British open a lot of golfers wouldn't get over that miss putt

[@charlesmarkm]

The music with these shots are the funniest 😂😂😂😂

[@catwhoopassgolf1934]

Heartbreaking losses. You have to feel for these people. These are collapses that they will never forget.

[@mikethebeginner]

Ben Hogan obsessed about his miss at the 17th at Cherry Hills in 1960 for the remainder of his life. He never stopped talking about it. With all his great accomplishments, that was the thing that always returned to the top of his thoughts.

Awww man. Patty Sheehan's interview was heartbreaking. "I just didn't feel well all day and I tried to overcome it by my mind but I couldn't" :(

[@kmotley517]

I made that excuse! That’s mine.

If Patty Sheehan can choke, then almost anyone can. She's an all-time great in women's golf.

Colin Montgomery with such an intelligent statement for someone who’s never won a Major.......

I’ve had enough at the 4:00 mark. I truly feel for these guys. All golfers can relate.

[@SamOperchuck]

I enjoyed this very much

[@texsouthpaw7502]

First attempt at passing my PAT for the PGA I had six shots to give with nine holes to play. Missed a birdie putt on 18 for a 43 and missed by one. 4 hr drive back home after that collapse really gets to you. 2 months later on my second attempt I took a 9 on the third hole of the day and reflected on my first failed attempt. I thought I was going fail again but knew there was a lot of golf left. Said not this time. and played even par the rest of the day. Golf is a mental game. If you think about failing you will. What the mind can conceive in and believe in it can achieve in

[@Legitgolfbros]

Cool story. I have choked in my pat every time but never really was that close. Missed by 8 shots two times, and shot 89-84 last time as a 3 handicap... like 8 ob/hazard balls or something....will keep trying tho

[@golfdude20]

What is a PAT?

[@foodreacts837]

Id rather never play golf than be 1 put away from winning the masters and miss it

[@stumarston6812]

I think I remember that. Didn't you birdie the windmill on 18?

[@smitty21171]

That’s an awesome story. Congrats on passing. Golf mimics life.

When ever I’m feeling down. I watch Sergio collapse. It really cheers me up

Now you’re talking!

This might be the only golf video I can watch - it's kind of funny.

[@nielsendc1]

You know what would be so dope...a follow up video to this, or extended version of this, showing clips of their redemptions that you mentioned, backed by m83 Outro track.

Ah Sergio... always satisfying... and so many chokes to choose from. Also nice to see karmic justice for Brandt "Beady-Eyes" Snedeker . Win by the choke, die by the choke.

[@briandoyle3507]

I have missed a 3 ft putt and i play just for fun.The pressure on them and the pressure they put on themselves is Incredible!

[@ksx1024]

Watching this was so damn hard....

I can understand a collapse in your game but recording a 4 when you had a 3 is a sad day in history.

I can't believe the guy he was tied with just took that "win". A true sportsman would have insisted on a playoff.

[@noampitlik2332]

The thing is we do this every time we golf---often. So, even choking at this level is quite an achievement. Second place in golf is huge.
