Dublin do a Jean van de Velde

They all completely collapsed with the winning line in sight.
Mickelson was closing in on the title with a three-shot lead and hit an errant shot into a garbage bin to begin a dramatic collapse. The Red Sox lost a 12-match lead against their arch rivals, the New York Yankees, whereas Van de Velde was leading by three with only the last hole to play and managed to triple bogey. However none of these examples were against Mayo – a team who has never won the major title, a team who are perennial nearly men, a team whom many believe are absent of the necessary courage, mettle and know-how to win.
