At least this'll make Scott Hoch and Doug Sanders feel better

I.K. Kim yesterday missed a 1-foot putt which would have won her her first major on the LPGA tour. She then went on to lose the resulting play off.

Never mind...I'm sure she'll get over it. In about 40 years.

OOOOh painful.

We've all done it but not for a Major.

Remember reading that Doug Sanders, on being asked about that putt many years later, replying that he had got over it and could now go a whole half hour without thinking about it.

Good quiz question as everyone thinks Saunders missed that putt to lose the Open. He missed to tie after 72 holes.
He lost the 36 hole play off the next day to Nicklaus.

You could say Saunders lost the Open on the first day when he dunked his pitch at the first into the Swilken burn and took a six.

This has reminded of the thread the other day abotu what constitutes gimme range. If there is enough riding on it, you could argue that no putt is in gimme range, looking at this example.

feel really sorry for her... I hope she bounces back.

He lost the 36 hole play off the next day to Nicklaus.

...and nearly got clobbered when Jack flung his putter into the air in celebration after winning. Maybe a thump from a falling putter would have erased the memory of that putt though.
