Where does Spieth's melt rank all time?

Spieth had one awful hole. I wouldn't even call it a collapse. Norman was a collapse. Van de velde was just a choke job.

Spieth has finished 2nd, 1st and 2nd in his three masters.

I'm going to say he will be ok.

1) Van de Velde '99 British Open - never won a Major and wow what he did to lose.
2) Norman '96 Masters - never won the Masters
3) McIlroy '11 Masters - only major missing from his grand slam. Still has a lot of golf left in front of him.
4) Speith - has already won a Masters. Lot of golf to be played for Jordan.
5) Mickelson '06 US Open - needed par on 18 to win (no gimme), bogey to tie and playoff w/ Ogilvy. And Phil made double. Only Major missing from his grand slam. Granted this was a single hole and less margin for error than others but this will haunt him.

Wasn't Spieth only 1 up on #2 going into today? No way that could be a top melt down.

As far as 12 goes, the hugest meltdown at that hole was Tom Weiskopf in 1980: he dumped five balls into the water and made a 13 on the 12th hole, the highest score relative to par in tournament history.

To me Van de Velde will always be the worst. That frog stepped onto 18 needed only a double to win. Any sane person hits 8 iron, 8 iron, wedge, 2 putt for bogey, Claret Jug winner. But this moron grabs the driver.

I was at Carnoustie 2 weeks after VDV had his meltdown. Going for that shot out of the water was retarded as well. Was an impossible shot when you were standing where he was standing. I will say the Brits had a lot of fun with it being a French guy melting down like that. And yeah, that will always be the biggest meltdown in my eyes as well.
