premature celebration 

golf term: The use of any celebratory action (ie. fist pump, raised arm, verbal comment etc.) assuming a putt will go into the hole before the ball actually enters the hole thus causing the ball to miss. Very mysterious phenomenon which plagues golfers.

I had that putt made until Steve went into a premature celebration and caused it to lip out
