Amazingly, 10 years after his monumental collapse at Carnoustie, Jean Van de Velde has been sighted once more. Holding a 3 stroke lead on the final hole of the tournament, Van de Velde decided to try and reach the green in 2 with 247 yards remaining on this par 5 from the rough. He came up short and ended up in the water on his first attempt. Then he amazingly went for the green again with the same result. Undeterred, he tried again, and then a 4th time, each with the same result. He finally ended the hole with a 15, 10 over par, and surrendered the lead to little known Hank Henry, who claimed the tournament with a score of +1.
