Roberto De Vicenzo did it in the Masters (1962 or 1963...off the top of my head I can't remember the exact year), leading to the classic line "What a stupid I am".
He would have gotten into a playoff with Bob Goalby had he not done that.

Mark Roe, at the British Open in 2003, would have entered the final day two shots out of the lead after shooting a 67. However, he accidently signed the scorecard of Jesper Parnevik, who shot an 81, and Roe was automatically disqualified. Thus, he didn't lose the tournament by filling in the incorrect scorecard, but he lost the opportunity to win.
This has happened a few times on the PGA Tour, but never on the final day for the leader. It may have occurred on other tours.
The rule goes: If at least one of the scores recorded on the ‘wrong’ card was lower than the score actually taken then the offender is disqualified. If the error is discovered before the cards are returned then it is acceptable simply to change the names at the top of the cards.
