Oh no. Oh nooooooooooooooooo. OH NO!There aren't enough ways of saying that after reading about poor Jordan Baker.

Baker, you see, made this wager on the winners of golf's majors earlier this year:

Take a look at that and see if you notice the problem.


That's right: He nailed Sergio Garcia winning the Masters, Brooks Koepka taking home a U.S. Open win and Justin Thomas claiming victory at the PGA Championship, a feat that's astounding when you think about it.


But the bet was to pick all four winners. And the poor guy missed out on a $2.5 million payday because Rickie Fowler didn't win the British Open (way to go, Jordan Spieth).


His Twitter feed on Sunday was exactly what you'd expect it to be as he watched Thomas win:


Oh my god, if Justin Thomas wins. I'm jumping out of a plane without a chute

He tried to reach out to Fowler, so maybe he gets a consolation prize out of it:
@RickieFowler bring me for a round at Augusta and we'll call it even. pic.twitter.com/KYAv9jN49V

Our condolences, Jordan.

I guess picking 3 out of 4 is Hard enough. IF Fowler had won, or IF he would have threw in Spieth, it would have been a Great hit.

Think I would be sick too

well if leg 3 in the parlay comes in 22nd place I don't see the heartbreak

sure hitting 3 out 4 in the Majors is unreal though
