What a nightmare he had 🙂
How about Ian Woosnam at the 2001 Open? Sharing the lead into the last day, he gets a two stroke penalty for having too many clubs in his bag.

FROM THE EARLY 90S NOT SURE WHICH ONE THIS WAS ONE OF THE MOST BONEHEADED PLAYS EVER LOL
Why not pick a Leon Lett blunder that actually affected the outcome of a game? Such as his gaffe near the end of the Thanksgiving Day game between Dallas and Miami, where after a blocked field goal attempt, he made a play on a dead ball, making it live again, allowing the Dolphins to recover and retry the field goal.

I was laughing when Lindsey was saying she came off the jump 'funny' and was trying to adjust in the air... She later changed her story.

He still won though, so I wouldn't class it with some of the other cock-ups.

Lol, I remember that, Alan Donald, what did you do? Hahahaha, I recall laughing at it when it happened, schoolboy error by someone that really should know better.
Hell, check out any cricket world cup game that SA played and you'll see some stupid blunders...

Mark Boucher blocking that ball against SL in 2003, when a draw was not sufficient to get SA through in their pool... This, after he checked a ball before on his D/L scorecard!

Jesus!
