Really it wasn't that bad of a choke like say a pull-hook into the rough. All he did was carry the 8 iron an extra 10 feet or so, probably due to adrenalin. I've seen far, far worse on closing holes (monty in the US open, Norman, pick 'em, ect) and even then the ball bounced like a mofo on those hard greens and spilled over. LOL @ Asszinger's comment " this means everything to Cink and would have been just another major tournament to Watson", huh?, might have THE biggest upset in all of ANY sport for a 59 year old to win it..

That putt for par was pretty ugly too. I have no disrepect for Watson coming up short...he's a great regardless, but do think he choked with all the marbles on the line.
 
Yea, that putt was fail right from the start and I think right then and there he knew it was over, having to compete with a young strong cink who was happy as shit to get to a playoff vs Watson's mental state,"I just blew it. TW should still hang his head high though, at 59 he beat all but one in a major, not too shabby IMO..
