What possessed him? I remember watching it. ****ing insane.

That 18th hole disaster makes it easy to forget that Paul Lawrie won from 10 shots back to start the final round, which is a major & PGA Tour record...Pretty unbelievable in itself

The whole thing created some mental demons for Lawrie as well. Because he felt/feels(which is true) that no one ever thinks of him as the victor. He discussed it on The thing about golf podcast. Proper mental health issues.

Yep, everyone forgets about the winner when something like this happens.

Doug Sanders took 4 shots from 74 yards, including a missed 3 footer, to end up in a playoff to Jack, which he lost.

"But they still ask me if I ever think about that putt I missed to win the 1970 Open at St. Andrews. I tell them that some times it doesn't cross my mind for a full five minutes.”

From that distance I’m odds on to miss the playoff.

It's been covered before but he was actually super unlucky.

The iron shot into the grandstand hit a narrow pole and ricocheted backwards back into the burn. Hits literally anywhere else and he gets a free drop and is the Open champion.

Play the hole as a bogey hole at worst and he walks away as a two shot British Open champion. Even the commentator was questioning driver where he got lucky and then the fairway wood for his second shot.

Admittedly, we wouldn’t have this sporting moment to talk about if this happened Pres

That was some of the best commentary I’ve heard at any tournament Peter Ellis I think his name was

The bounce off the stand went into the hay. From there he hacked it into the burn.

Alliss. A legend. The Poms are generally so much better. Less is more, no need to tell us “he’s left that one short” when we can see that.

Just watching KLM Open.
If you play such a poor shot that you hit a ball on the fly into a grandstand, why do you get free relief?
Never understood this. Surely it should be a penalty, imo.

Agree some players hit into the stand as it’s an easier shot from the drop zone than maybe bin a bunker or rough. Make the stands hospitality tent oob that would fix it

Nelly showing us anyone can hit stone cold tops.

Yep spot on. I got that wrong - however he would have won the tournament if the ball missed that pole.

Last about seven players under par this week at the travelers only seven or so over par, back to throwing darts again

Scottie won playoff after kims second plugged in bunker going for new hole position . Only needed a par to win

Yang and her smooth swing leads the KPMG Womens PGA Championship by 3 with a hole to go.

 

[peternorth]

Lauren Hartledge tied 4th after a 74. Her middle two rounds were superlative. Unfortunately for her a final round 72 cost her as she was 2 back after R3

As Yamashita drains the putt for a birdie on 18.

 

[peternorth]

Silence.....Yang misses the birdie putt but tap tap taps it in.
She stood the test of time.
Yang is the champion and has her major. Her korean and persons of korean heritage storm the green and douse her in sparkling wine.
