If I asked you to tell me the recipe for Major Championship success, I imagine one of your first responses would be that players need to keep big numbers off their scorecard, avoiding double-bogeys (or worse) at all costs.
The logic is sound, especially with the premium placed on momentum in Majors. Losing two-shots or more on one hole, when the world's best golfers are competing for the title can seriously damage your prospects and inflict significant psychological wounds.
