Jordan Spieth, 2016
Spieth made the turn on Sunday in 2016 with a five-shot lead. But after hitting road bumps with back-to-back bogeys on 10 and 11, his chances at a second consecutive green jacket completely crashed on 12. Spieth found Rae’s Creek with his tee shot, then chunked his drop into the water as well. When it was finally over, he’d made a quadruple bogey that opened the door for a Danny Willett victory.
Francesco Molinari, 2019
Molinari, the 2018 Open champ at Carnoustie, started the final round on Sunday with a two-shot lead and looked poised to win his second career major. But his momentum came to a stop on 12 when his tee ball hit the front bank and splashed en route to a double bogey. Molinari wasn't the only contender to find the water, though. So too did Brooks Koepka, Ian Poulter and Tony Finau. All this helped clear the way for Tiger Woods to take control of the tournament on the back nine and win his fifth career Masters title.

Tiger Woods, 2020
Woods' attempt to win a sixth green jacket was thwarted on Saturday when he fell well off the pace. Playing out the final round on Sunday, however, Tiger disastorously hit his tee shot into the water, then his third shot. His fifth went into the back bunker, and playing his sixth that ball also splashed into the water. He'd make a 10, the worst score on any hole in his professional career.
