Prior to the 1999 British Golf Open, no one had really heard of monsieur Jean van de Velde, a French pro golfer. However, by the end of the tournament everyone watching would take notice of his terrible decision-making. Van de Velde was sitting comfortably in the lead of the final round and, had he decided to play it safe, he would have probably won the Open. While on the 18^th hole, van de Velde made one mistake after another which ended up costing him the victory.
