He could have hit four wedges onto the green, taken two putts and won the tournament.
But instead he hit one shot off the grandstand, plopped another into a creek, and finished the hole with a triple-bogey seven to fall into a three-way playoff, which he eventually lost.
It was one of the biggest collapses in
SHOT #1: He drove it through the fairway, but it was still an okay drive.
SHOT #2: Instead of laying up, he went for the green, and disaster struck. He clanged it off the grandstand and into the hay.
SHOT #3: He chunked his shot from the rough directly into the creek.
SHOT #4: In a desperate attempt to avoid a penalty stroke, he took his shoes off and thought about hitting it from the creek. But he eventually had to take a drop because the ball sank.
SHOT #5: He chunked another approach shot into the bunker.
SHOT #6: Needing to get up-and-down to stay in the playoff, he chipped it within 10 feet.
SHOT #7: He made the triple-bogey putt, and celebrated making the playoff.
Ultimately though, he lost in the playoff to Paul Lawrie, sealing one of the worst collapses ever:
