This reminds me of stories of battlers winning the lottery and being flat broke again 12 months later, and the world is littered with sports people that had so much talent and just wasted it.
It is sad to see so much talent go down the gurgler, but he certainly is not alone.
Golf is also one of those confidence games - the professional circuit is littered with Players (Ian Baker Finch comes to mind) whose game just completely deserted them, usually based on self-doubt creeping into your game...
I think you just have to cherish the memories when these people were on top of their game (though Baker Finch is far from broke...)
