Explanation:
Maybe something you (or the other native speakers) can play with.

He was up 6 strokes and started to bogey the holes, allowing Faldo to catch up.

My thought from the USA.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you, jccantrell. Do you think my own try is correct? "In der berühmten Endrunde von 1996 verliert Greg Norman seinen Vorsprung von sechs Schlägen und ebnet Faldo den Weg zur Führung."

  -> Ahh, but the term 'collapse' implies he started playing poorly = bogies. If he had played well and the other guy just played that much better, the term 'collapse' would not have been used.

neutral  Steffen Walter: Variante: büßte 6 Schläge Vorsprung [einen Vorsprung von 6 Schlägen) ein

neutral  Hildegard Klein-Bodenheimer (X): 'verspielte einen 6-Schlag Vorsprung', das bringt auch sein eigenes schlechtes Spiel mit ein.
