At the 1999 British Open, French journeyman golfer Jean Van de Velde needed a double bogey 6 on the 18th hole to walk away with the Claret Jug.

Van de Velde's own reflections on his failure are a morality tale for Christians seeking to understand their own failure, success, and God's faithfulness.
