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.

“THE MASTERS: Greatest Shots and Moments" and my Tiger Woods Comeback video were both taken down from YouTube last week, and my channel got hit with two copyright strikes. Because of this, I won't be able to re-upload them here without risk of having my channel terminated. Instead, I have uploaded the videos to Vimeo so that anyone who wants to watch them can view them over there. Thanks for the support!

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.

This is too depressing... reminds me of when I'm playing.
-
I never miss a 1 foot putt, I always wait for my buddies to say “pick it up!” Lol
-
The last one was a heart breaker. Literally a pen stroke.
-
Nothing in sports will humble you more quickly and with more ferocity than golf.
-
Golf is hard. And the people critisising theese players have absolutely 0 idea of how the pressure is like when the world is watching.
-
This was alot more depressing than I thought it would be.
-
Golfer’s worst nightmare: a 2-3 foot putt
-
That Interstellar music is amazing and creeps me out every time I hear it. Just makes my brain wander.
-
Golf has without a doubt saved my life and torn my heart out. I can’t live without it.
-
These misses are absolutely heart breaking man. Damn.
-
I remember watching Kim’s missed 1-footer, then immediately losing on the first hole in sudden death. I felt so bad for her. What a gut punch.
-
Did anyone else rock and sway in their seat or couch watching this. So heartbreaking, than again so humbling, because no one is invisible or above the game itself. Edit: every golfer has that moment, even in casual golf.
-
"I tried to overcome it with my mind... but I couldn't" She got me teared up.
-
Just goes to show that this game came be very humbling, even for the pros. My philosophy is just have a few good shots, do the best I can.
-
This shows the real battle is with the monster inside
-
All of these moments make the things that Tiger does down the stretch in tournaments to win over his career even more impressive. People just really don't understand the kind of pressure that is associated with those short putts on the last hole of tournaments and majors. Tiger poured them in like they were tap ins. The 12 ft. putt Tiger made to get into that playoff with Rocco in the 2008 US Open is one of the best putts ever made. Unreal...
-
The biggest I can remember was Jean van de Velde at the open. That was 20 plus years ago and I still remember it like it happened yesterday. Now that was a meltdown
-
Fun fact: After Kyle Stanley’s collapse at Torrey Pines, he bounced back and won the [Phoenix Open] at TPC Scottsdale the following week.
