Francesco Molinari had a rough back nine on the final day of the Masters that cost him a chance at a green jacket.
On a par 3 on the 12th hole, Molinari, who led for most of the final day, dunked a tee shot in the water.

Just a few holes later Molinari once again choked when he dropped another ball in the water after an errant tee shot.

Tiger Woods was able to capitalize on Molinari’s mishaps to take the lead with several solid birdies.
Winning is hard.

During the 17th hole Molinari appeared to tear up either because of allergies or because he was actually crying.
