Jean van de Velde golf collapse 1999 Open at Carnoustie

Posted by admin


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.

    @beergut
    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.

    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!!
