Masters 2012: Rory McIlroy and the Biggest Meltdowns in Golf History | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

There is no question that Ben Hogan was one of the greatest golfers of all time as he won nine major championships, including a career Grand Slam. With that said, he is also responsible for one of the biggest collapses in the history of golf. At the 1955 U.S. Open, Hogan was looking to win a record fifth title in the event, and after finishing his round it appeared he would.

Little-known Jack Fleck would sink a birdie putt on the 18th, however, to force an 18-hole playoff with the immortal Hogan. With just one hole remaining in the playoff, the heavily favored Hogan trailed by one stroke, but most observers believed he would rise to the occasion. Hogan hit an errant tee shot, however, and Fleck closed out one of the great upsets in golf history with a par.
