After seeming poised to win his first major in four years, Adam Scott is stunned as the Scottish crowd spurs local favourite Robert MacIntyre to a famous victory.
Adam Scott has been denied his first major win in four years after a stunning comeback from Robert MacIntyre at the Scottish Open .
The evergreen Australian had looked on course to pick up another big win two days before his 44th birthday as he led the prestigious pre-British Open event at the Renaissance Club in North Berwick on Sunday, two shots clear with MacIntyre having just three to play. Scott, who went on to set the target after a closing three-under-par 67, a roller-coaster round that featured seven birdies, a double bogey and two bogeys, then had to watch and wait anxiously as McIntyre went down the last.
"I've put a lot of work into this. I've changed a lot within the team and I've just worked hard. I wanted the Scottish Open.The man from the little Scottish coastal town of Oban has long made it clear that winning his home Scottish Open would mean almost as much to him as grabbing a major. On Sunday, he was in fine form as he pushed himself into a position to win the 41st title of his distinguished career.
