The 2013 British Open provided the world with overwhelming thrills, as Phil Mickelson shocked the world with an extraordinary final round of 66 to win his first career Open Championship. While Mickelson may have captured our hearts, there were just as many golfers who underwhelmed.

The question is, what were the most disappointing final-round performances of the 2013 British Open?

Certain golfers entered the day in position to make a run at the title but struggled to piece together the rounds necessary to close in on the gold. Others were in control of their own destiny but collapsed down the closing stretch.

One way or another, the following golfers disappointed during the closing round of the 2013 Open Championship.

 

Adam Scott



Round 1: 71 (E)

Round 2: 72 (+1)

Round 3: 70 (-1)

Round 4: 72 (+1)

Final: 285 (+1) 

On the surface, Adam Scott's fourth-round performance wasn't too disappointing. He shot a one-over 72, remained in contention late in the tournament and finished in a tie for third at one-over for the event.

With a closer look, it's clear that Scott had the worst collapse of all.

Scott was sitting at two-under entering the 13th hole, running neck-and-neck with Mickelson. Over the next four holes, Scott experienced one of the worst collapses in recent history.

Four straight bogeys and elimination from contention.

After hitting for birdie on four of his five holes from 7 to 11, Scott struck bogey on 13, 14, 15 and 16. In turn, he dropped from two-under to two-over in a matter of four devastating holes.

A horrid collapse if we've ever seen one.

 

Lee Westwood



Round 1: 72 (+1)

Round 2: 68 (-3)

Round 3: 70 (-1)

Round 4...
