Golf: South Korean golfer Si Woo Kim is continuing to take the golf world by storm as he recorded the longest hole-in-one in Open history.
Adam Scott ’s dream of winning the Claret Jug was extinguished once again but the Australian star leaves Troon with the bonus of having confirmed he will make his 25th straight Open appearance next year.
But when Scott missed a five-foot putt for par, having recovered from a tricky position with a superb wedge, his hopes deflated like a pricked balloon. And the gallery, who were largely supporting his playing partner Shane Lowry, knew it as well. “But no one really had it except maybe Xander. I don’t know how his card looks. Maybe he’s having a super hot back nine, too. No-one really held him back.
While there are six weeks of the PGA Tour remaining, he is now in a strong position to earn a guaranteed start in all the signature PGA Tour events next season.The six automatic qualifiers for the team are confirmed after the BMW Championship in Colorado in late August, while the International Team captain Mike Weir also has six additional picks.
It is Scott’s best finish in a major championship since 2019 and provided some vindication that a change in his approach midway through last year, when realising he was not as competitive as he hoped to be, was worth the gamble. “I’m just pleased. I’ve been moving a lot of stuff around this year behind the scenes in my head, in my golf bag, and I feel like seven months in finally feel like I can settle a little bit and work a plan, even though there’s a month left of the season.”
