Sergio Garcia does epic failure better than anyone else on the PGA Tour.

He absolutely imploded on Sunday in the final round of the 2013 Players Championship, and you can nearly always count on him to blow it when the pressure is on. 

One of the most talented golfers on the planet, Garcia has repeatedly botched attempts at winning big tournaments and is famous for having never won a major championship.

Therefore, nobody was surprised when he dropped not one but two shots into the drink on the famous island green—the 17th hole at the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass. ESPN's Rick Reilly pointed out the sad truth that Garcia's meltdown is something he'll never live down:



But he wasn't even done yet. 

After posting a dreaded "other" on No. 17 (quadruple-bogey seven), Garcia then proceeded to send his tee shot on No. 18 into the water, making it the third ball to land in the drink in the final two holes of the tournament. 

As Jason Sobel of the Golf Channel pointed out when Garcia finally limped in, he dropped six strokes in the final two holes:



Before his collapse, Garcia was tied for the lead at 13-under par with two holes left to play on Sunday at the 2013 Players Championship. 

After playing well but not great golf through the first 10 holes, Garcia went on a tear, making birdie in three of his next six holes, including the par-five No. 16 to tie Tiger Woods and Jeff Maggert for the lead with two holes left to play.

After watching Garcia melt down, golf fan Tom Walker posted this message on Twitter:



Garcia simply finds ways to choke when the pressure is on, and this fact couldn't have been more clearly illustrated this Sunday. 

After sending three balls into the water, his round was over. He had no chance to win, and the pressure was gone.
