The Masters officially gets underway on Thursday and ahead of the first golf major of the year, SportsCasting has taken a look at the 10 biggest chokes in the tournament’s history.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is one of the most exciting sporting events of the year, with the majority of golf’s finest players taking to Augusta National hoping to win the green jacket.<\/p>\n

The Masters has delivered up some of the biggest moments in the sport’s history. The likes of Scottie Scheffler, Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer have all shown their brilliance to win the tournament.<\/p>\n

However, the history of Masters winners could look very different if it wasn’t for many famous collapses which have taken place on golf’s grandest stage.<\/p>\n

So often, the golfer who enters the final round with the lead doesn’t walk away with the victory on the final day.<\/p>\n

Here, SportsCasting ranks the 10 biggest chokes in Masters history.<\/p>\n

The 10 Biggest Masters Chokes In History<\/h2>\n

10. Roberto De Vincenzo – 1968<\/h4>\n

Choke might not be the right word for the first entrant on the list but it was definitely the biggest act of self-sabotage in Masters history which is enough to qualify for this list.<\/p>\n

The Argentinian should have taken part in a playoff with British golfer Bob Goalby to determine the 1968 champion.<\/p>\n

Except that he signed an incorrect scorecard after playing partner Tommy Armor marked him for a ‘4’ on the 17th hole when it should have been a ‘3’.<\/p>\n

“What a stupid I am to be wrong here,” Roberto De Vincenzo told the press after the error.<\/p>\n

Sucks to lose Jordan to the most antiquated rule in professional golf.<\/p>\n

But, whenever this happens I\u2019m reminded of the most absurd incorrect scorecard story.<\/p>\n
