Tim Rosaforte of Golf World wrote this excellent article on the flameouts at the final hole at Carnoustie. I loved the line “aim at the clock and pray it’s not your time to join the ghosts.” By the way, has anyone else noticed that the last three times we’ve been to Carnoustie, there have been playoffs? Besides Padraig’s victory over Sergio this year, Tom Watson beat Jack Newton in 1975, Paul Lawrie beat Jean Van de Velde and Justin Leonard in 1999.
Holy smokes! Hunter Mahan went zany, I tell ya! Three hole-outs in one round? That’s got to be a record. Sal Johnson has the details over at Golf Observer.
