Classic Golf Clangers

By David Mortimer

For every victory carved from adversity by a professional golfer, there is a moment when a player s over-confidence or self-doubt leaves spectators gawking in disbelief. Players in the great panoply of golfing clangers include the feisty Babe Zaharias, who was damned if she was giving second best to a (male) amateur champion, and Nigel Denham, who, in the 1974 English Amateur Championship, insisted on playing his approach shot to the 18th from the member s bar. There was Scotland s Bobby Cruickshank knocking himself out just in sight of victory at the 1934 US Open, and Thomas Bjorn refusing to leave the sand at Royal St. George s in 2003. Henry Cotton, Tom Weiskopf, Nick Faldo, the Great White Shark, and Phil Mickelson are just some of the many favorites who contributed to at least one of these toe-curling moments."
