The part of this that I can't get over is that he made a 7 WITH two incredible breaks. The first being the drive pushed so far left that he missed the burn and the second hitting the wall of the burn and bouncing back into play.

I remember watching this live and my feelings of sorrow for Jean are still there. An awful thing to have to go through, with the entire world watching.

This is still excruciating to watch. Why would you want to me immortalised like this??

Taken me 23 years to watch it again. The most excruciating sporting moment ever. How pressure can scramble the brain.

Paul Lawrie shot one of the best rounds in the history of golf in the final round

Peter Alliss's audible cringe is what MAKES this clip. He more or less saw it coming because Jean had been playing the whole tournament with bravado, and #18 at Carnoustie with a three stroke lead is NOT where you want to use bravado. You can tell how much Peter hates the fact that he's been proven right.

Remember watching this. Just couldn’t understand what I was seeing.

Hopefully Paul sends a gift to Jean every year during open week

Almost anyone else would have hit a shot iron into the fairway for his second shot

Even after the luck of the driver, he still made triple LOL

If those stands were not there for the tournament, he would have won. Even if the stands were there and his ball had gone into the stands, he would have gotten a drop and would have won. If his ball bounced off the stands and into the burn, he would have taken his drop and then had three shots to get down for the win. Besides extremely poor decision making his ball hitting that railing doomed him.

He almost hit his drive in the water because he had too much club... This is why you pay your caddy the big bucks... he should have taken over

Who’s here after rory?

I think if his tee shot found the water, he probably lays up with his 3rd, wedges it on and 2 putts to win

@COLETHORN10

He wins if the second shot had gone into the Burn.

Second shot is what killed him. All he had to do was lay up from there and win the tournament easily. At his level it shouldnt have been such a struggle. All the work was done and just made terrible decisions aftter his drive.....no more or no less, thats how I see it.
