Golf's biggest chokes in a Major?

We know Van De Velde was not only bad, but that shite was funny as hell watching it live. The commentators really held back what they really thought too imo.
I saw this article after DJ's choke in the US Open.
Top 7 chokes in Majors
Another article had Arnie's '66 Open #1 choke of all time.
I actually forgot about Scott's '12 British OPen, but that seemed to be a slow bleed and not memorable like Van De Velde, Mickelson's, or Norman's. DJ's first collapse and Duffner's were bad, but they were relatively unknown, so not too surprising.
Anybody care to share their top-5 or 10, or which one you consider to be the biggest choke in a major?
I have Van De Velde, Norman, Mickelson in my top-3.
Any golf historians care to enlighten us about Arnie's collapse?

Norman and Seve B come to mind

One interesting thing about VanDeVelde that I thought Steve Sands once said was that he is convinced VanDeVelde lost track of the shots and believed that last putt to get into the playoff was still a putt to win.

Scott and DJ were the first that came to mind before I clicked

Rory blowing arse on Sunday at the Masters a few years ago has to be up there. He had a pretty good lead if I recall and just sucked. He rallied nicely though.

You saw Van de Velde live?
Dang.
Tom Watson should have beaten Cink, imo. Not really a choke when you consider he's 87 years old.

Arnie was beating Billy Casper I believe at the US Open back in the 60's. Get on the back nine and Arnie has like a 6 shot lead with 8 to go. Billy tells Arnie all I want to do is come in second. In which Arnie replied, I'll do everything I can to make sure you do. Squandered the big lead and went to an 18 hole playoff the next day, Casper won.
