Worst Pro Match Meltdown You Seen

[Flakeandrun]

Jason was the one out of line there…it was obvious that Earl made the ball he played….a ref would’ve corrected him on the proper number…
….but the ref was distracted by something else. Earl was confused by the blue ten ball and the blue two ball.
It’s happened a few times in the history of the game….Jayson knew Earl made the ball he played.

Yeah, but is it what he said aloud? If everyone needs to be aware of the call, shouldn’t it be vocalized clearly? Regardless of the ‘obvious’ play. I need to watch it again now, but if there’s a level of doubt that can cause that eruption, you’d think to be clearer. I remember finding it funny, but on the side of Shaw watching it previously.

Earl owns the meltdown crown. Kinda like Helmuth owns the crown in poker.

Earl is mentally ill, he always has been, it’s just become more evident as the years have passed. I remember the first time I saw him in action around 1980, that look in his eyes like the lights are on but no one’s home.

I think all of the above are suitable for the thread, I'd like to see them here anyway.
I think OP means that they've lost the ability expected of a top player - the 'yips'

I think Albin has to be near the top of the "fallen from grace" category.

I read meltdown and immediately thought "does Earl even count?"

Savant is the word.
A savant golfer is a golfer with an extraordinary and innate talent, often linked to savant syndrome or an autistic condition, where exceptional skill in golf is displayed despite other developmental challenges or learning disabilities. While not limited to one individual, Moe Norman is the most famous example.
