Golf: Adam Scott has fallen agonisingly close of breaking a four-year drought on the PGA Tour after a thrilling finish at the Scottish Open.
No major wins in more than 11 years, and just one PGA Tour victory in the past eight, Adam Scott stands a realistic chance of upsetting the game’s younger heavyweights this week at the Open Championship.
Without any disrespect whatsoever to MacIntyre, a fine player who deserves no criticism for playing the game within the rules, the remarkable twist that followed felt like an egregious miscarriage of justice towards Scott. The jump across the Atlantic has lit the fuse within Scott, whose worst round in North Berwick was three-under par.Scott was back to playing some of his best golf, particularly when he was firmly in contention.
At the 14th, deep in contention, he fired a dagger that came to rest just one-and-a-half feet from the hole.“Goodness gracious, this is just out of this world,” the commentator gasped. The near miss at the Scottish would’ve hurt deeply, but he’s known greater pain — something he’s reminded of every Open Championship.
Twelve years later, the wait goes on — something which former US Open champion Geoff Ogilvy believes would sting for Scott.“He outplayed the field all week, he was on a mission that time, he was grinding on his golf and was playing really well ... It shows you how difficult it is to win these majors.
