Top 3 Worst Misses: No.2 - Steve Misses That Black

'Steve would have knocked that black in 999 times out of 1000'
Ted Lowe

It's past midnight, but more than 18 million are glued to their televisions as Steve Davis and Dennis Taylor are locked at 17-17 and on the black. Taylor then misses a long pot and leaves Steve with a chance to win. He just needed to cut the black in and he'd be champion of the world.

'I thought to myself, don't Undercut it, because that is how I miss it.' 
Steve Davis 

And what did he do, he missed it! And left Dennis to knock it in.
Steve blames his mind, Taylor blames the pressure, I just think it was a terrible miss and that it should be No.2.
