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

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.
where was his caddy during this ordeal?
I am pretty relaxed, thanks
calm down kid, it aint that big of a deal.
relax.

Twice? The Germans were going to lose WW1 whether or not the US joined the war. They didn’t have the industrial complex to sustain the fighting. Typical American stupidity.
impressive but still a distant second to greg norman’s collapse at the masters,handing the green jacket to the prick faldo.
shit golfer
When he takes his tee shot there are two idiots kneeling on the ground at the bottom left hand corner of the screen. I am the one on the right hand side as we see it. My only claim to fame, Ever. Impressive huh!!

Typical French arrogant => stupidity => failure….but hey it was crowd pleasing stuff!!!
he holed the bunker shot for a playoff???
Yeah right, and american golfers are driving in Skoda and Ford Fiesta and drink mineral water at cocktails, right.
Thanks for opening my eyes ! Perhaps I’m a typical french bourgeois also, who knows ?
yeah right, ask La Fayette who were the first pussies in history when he came to deliver you against the roastbeefs, you jerk…
All these americans jealous of France because it’s the greatest country in the world… I feel sad for you.
Keep your stupid golfers and we keep our history, culture and gastronomy.
