McIlroy's other brush with the green jacket came in 2011, when he infamously blew a four-shot lead on Sunday. His disastrous back-nine collapse saw him shoot 7 over during the final nine holes, part of a final-round 80 that erased the 65, 69 and 70 he carded to build a lead during the first three days of the tournament. Then 21 years old, McIlroy settled for a T-15 finish.
