Jerry Pate, 1982 World Series of Golf at Firestone

The 1976 U.S. Open champion reached the fringe of the par-5 2nd hole in two and had a 50-footer for eagle. His approach putt rolled 5 feet past the hole, and his comebacker for birdie was also too strong, ending up 3 feet away. Annoyed at himself, Pate carelessly hit the short par putt, and it lipped out. Fuming, he then made a careless backhand stab at the bogey tap-in. Not only did the ball miss the cup, but it also hit his foot for a two-stroke penalty. Now lying 8, he managed to hole out for a quadruple-bogey 9. “That was the stupidest hole I ever played,” he said afterward. “It just goes to show you that in golf, it’s never over until the ball is in the hole.”
