Len Mattiace, 1998: 8
Mattiace’s woes on the 17th highlighted an unfortunate tale. Trailing by one stroke in the final round in 1998, he stepped to the tee box with hopes of continuing an impressive round and pulling off an incredible victory. His mother, who was wheel-chair bound and battling lung cancer, was there to watch her son take on the iconic test. It would be an epic storyline. Like many golfers, though, he struggled, and when he finally finished the hole, the quintuple-bogey knocked him from contention to fifth.
