Cameron Young failed to make the cut at the Masters, and a complete putting meltdown did not help his case.
Young shot a 7-over 79 in the second round of the Masters on Friday to bring his two-day total to 7-over. Anyone who scored worse than 2-over par over the first two rounds was cut.
Young was looking pretty good through his first 11 holes at Augusta National in Georgia on Friday. He had shot 1-over on the front nine and then picked up a birdie on the 10th hole to get back to par. He unfortunately double-bogeyed 12, bogeyed 14, and then everything unraveled on the par-3 16th hole. Young four-putted his way to a triple-bogey in a surreal scene.

That was hard to watch. After missing his initial putt, he was so casual with his second one for tap-in that he forgot to get lined up. Then he blew it on the next attempt for the same reason before he finally decided to hunker down, focus and make it on his 6th shot of the hole.
The wheels had completely come off for Young after that and he bogeyed 17 and 18 to finish with his 7-over 79.
If anything, that should provide some level of comfort to fans who might not feel so badly about enduring similar heartbreak on the course.
