  • Moments of unbridled joy and success at The Open are what we have grown accustomed to over the years. But for every celebration, there are moments of heartache and despair.
    For years we have witnessed golfing greats reach the height of their careers, including a select few winning their first of many major golf titles.
    However, not every player can walk away from The Open Championship with the Claret Jug and are left lamenting what could have been.
    Missing a putt, firing a tee shot out of bounds, or falling victim to a treacherous hazard are ways a player can have their heart broken while on the course.
    We have compiled this selection of heartbreaking moments from The Open archives to show just how much winning The Open means to its competitors.
    Which Open moment hurt the most?

    I don’t think I ever pulled for a golfer to win any harder than I did for Tom Watson at the age of 59. Would’ve been the greatest feat in golf history.

    • @wreckim

      Absolutely, and it really makes it incredible how he stopped winning Majors at age 34. That would have been over a 25 year absence from Major to Major. Not to be. Which really makes Tiger's and Jacks's last Masters win so special.

    Tom Watson winning, at nearly 60, would have been one of the greatest stories in the history of golf. Such a shame. It made it even worse that Stewart Cink (who, let's be honest, is pretty dull) went on to win it.

      agree on Watson, the most comical or one you just have to laugh at was Van De Velde (painful) and his fist pump on his saved triple to make the playoff, I want to say - man you you just lost this open, it was written he would not win in the playoff at that very moment.
      I agree on Watson and I felt more disappointed than most events I have watched, really wanted to have him add that to his legacy

    if Adam Scott could putt he would have had double digit majors by now ! even on the last hole which in the clip he hits into the bunker the story behind that shot needs to be known.But wins the best dressed guy on the golf course every time. Looks like he is moving away from Titleist now ....he was sporting lethal driver

      Sanders' 2nd putt on the 72nd hole was excruciating. Didn't reset his routine after wiping away the impediment on his line, just stood straight back over the ball then froze there for 13 seconds. Then made the squirmiest stroke imaginable and looked like he tried to rake it back to himself the moment it left the face. Sports psychologists would have an absolute field day analysing that putt.
