Top U.S. Open Meltdowns
A look back through the years at the best golfing goof-ups
Colin Montgomerie hits a tee shot on the fifth hole during the final round of the 2006 US Open at Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck, New York.
Lost in Mickelson's melodrama was Monty's meltdown. The quick-witted Scot, widely considered the best golfer never to win a major championship, came tantalizingly close at Winged Foot. He nailed a 45-foot birdie putt on 17 to tie for the lead, and hit down the middle-drive on the final hole. But he over thought his approach shot — changing clubs at the last second — and left it short. His chip out of the rough sailed to the back of the green, and he missed his long par putt. Monty finished tied with Mickelson and Jim Furyk for second.
