Scott Hoch has been a professional golfer for 30 years. He's won nearly $20 million, 11 PGA Tour events, one Champions tour title, five events in Asia and one in Europe. He's made 30 hole-in-ones. But Hoch's career is summed up in one word that has nothing to do with what he's achieved: choke. That's a reference to something he didn't achieve: a 30-inch putt to win the 1989 Masters on the first hole of a playoff against Nick Faldo. After Hoch missed the tap-in at 10, Faldo won the title at the 11th hole. Like Bill Buckner and the ground ball through his legs, Hoch, who never won a major, has been forever linked with his yip to lose the green jacket and is asked about the putt almost everywhere he goes.
