4 Golf's Biggest Busts

In 1995, a former Open champion stood on the first tee at St Andrews, one of the widest fairways in golf, and hit it out of bounds. Two years later, he never played tournament golf again. When people talk about golf's biggest busts, they talk about kids who got the hype and never made it. But the cruelest falls in this game didn't happen to players who never got there. They happened to players who already had. In this video: • Gary Nicklaus, the 16-year-old Sports Illustrated called "The Next Nicklaus," and the playoff against Phil Mickelson almost nobody remembers • Bill Rogers, who won seven times on three continents in one season, then walked away from the tour • David Duval, who shot 59 on a Sunday, passed Tiger Woods for world No. 1, then fell to 882nd, and what he did next • Ian Baker-Finch, who could hit 50 straight drives at a target on the range and still couldn't find the fairway when it counted Three of them reached the very top of golf. All four found out how fast it can disappear. Which story hit you hardest? Tell me in the comments.
