Probably the worst since Greg Norman was about 5 ahead of Faldo and managed to squander it in the last round. And before that Seve being a few ahead with about 4 holes to play and throwing it away to Jack Nicklaus. But all these players were still winners and Rory will be too.
I'm going to agree with you... the difference is that Rory's meltdown shows his age and his maturity. He took it with grace and style, answered every question and will undoubtably learn and grow from this episode. He will be fine.
Unlike some others who treated their meltdown without a shred of class or humility, thinking that a front 9 charge on Sunday was going to be enough, Rory will be the better golfer for it. And we get to watch.
Hope they kept the green jacket in his size for next year. =)
