Default Main Bearings Problems

Following the post earlier this week about the block, when i stripped it down i found the main bearing at the flywheel end like this in the picture below. All the rest are 100%, what would have caused this to do it to only one bearing?

Also where is best place to buy new bearings?

Thanks

Yes it was furtherest away from the oil pump. Had plenty of oil in it when i have owned it tho i only got the car 6 months ago. It has a slight mark in it which is getting polished out as we speak.
