1) Probably a combination of panic and liking his yardage and angle better than what he had from the drop zone.

Having a five shot lead and going bogey-bogey-drink would throw anyone into a tailspin.

2) Tried to get too cute. The play on 12 is to accept hitting it in the back bunker instead of trying to throw one in tight. There just isn't enough space.

He's still a great player and he'll likely win several more majors, but it's the law of averages balancing things out a little bit. How many other guys double bogey the 71st hole in the US Open and then have their competitor three putt from eight feet to hand them the trophy? With as fortunate as he was last year something like this was bound to happen.
