1999 Open Championship
The 1999 Open Championship was the 128th Open Championship, held 15–18 July at the Carnoustie Golf Links in Angus, Scotland. Paul Lawrie won his only major championship in a playoff over Jean van de Velde and Justin Leonard.[2] Lawrie, down by ten strokes at the start of the fourth round,[3] completed the biggest final round comeback in major championship history,[4][5] headlined by van de Velde's triple-bogey at the last hole.[6]

Peter I actually watched that one. I think it's more remembered for van de velde's epic collapse than it is for Lawrie's victory. Double bogey to win and posts a triple. Even tin cup would have laid up on that second shot.

Yeah it's up there with the Sands of Nakajima. Just epic. I cannot imagine many guys have lost a tournament on the 18th hole with a triple bogey. I suppose it would have been a real miracle if despite that he pulled himself together and won the playoff. But that wasn't going to happen any more than Watson was going to win a playoff after blowing a two stroke lead on 18. Still a pretty amazing final round by Lawrie considering where he started the day.

Norman had a 6 shot lead in the final round of the 1996 Masters and lost to Faldo. That was painful to watch.

Watson needed a par 4 to win at Turnberry in 2009 and made a bogey 5.
Michelson had the US Open at Winged Foot won but made a 6 on 18 to hand it to Geoff Ogilvy. That was painful. Last edited by stlcardsfan; 07-28-2017 at 02:42 PM. |
