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.

Not to make light of Van de Velde's choke, but didn't he hit a clutch and difficult putt to go into a playoff? I was pretty young at the time and can't quite remember, but I believe that's correct.

Actually, Phil needed only bogey to win outright. He could have hit 5-iron, 5-iron, wedge and 2-putt to win, but he pulled driver. Bones should have ripped that driver out of his hands and wrapped it around a tree.
