Steve from PA asked in SportsGolf · 9 years ago

Adam Scott, Is anyone surprised?

I like this guy..good guy..geat swing and game..but its apparent he just doesnt have the mental tuffness to win a major in the clutch...Im thinking he has to go off and lead the field by 10 or 15 shots so he can relax if hes ever gonna win a major...

Update:

I agree with most of ur comments...the course was laiden with bunkers...but what doesnt make any sense was Scott handled that course....I dont like the word choke...but 4 strait bogeys on the last 4 holes?,,Hes probably never done that in his career to lose a tourney...Maybe this will get him angry and it wont happen the next time hes in that position...and yeah..get rid of that broom stick hes putting with...

Update 2:

Lawrie....I wanna agree with you...and if Adam had lost in a playoff after being tied with some one in the last round, it would be exceptable...he had as one announcer said..one hand on the trophy...not to compare him to Tiger...but u have believe no way Tiger gives up a 4 shot lead with 4 holes to play...gotta wonder how this will work on Adam mentally

    Yes, I am, actually. He appeared pretty steady all day and it looked like he'd be just fine, until he started that bogey train the last four holes.

    I was rooting for Tiger to win, but my pick this morning to win it was Adam...I thought he'd hang on well, and I certainly didn't expect Ernie to be the one who'd beat him.

    Yes I was surprised. I don't believe he deserves being known as a choker. What happened to him can happen to anyone, and does, especially in a major.

    Scott has the goods to win majors and it is only a matter of time.

    There are plenty of other top golfers who have yet to win majors, that doesn't make them chokers.

    I thought steve was a little upset, scott was being a little obtuse. All he need was pars, middle of the fairway on the green 2 putts. what was he trying to do. Ernie cool as ever plodding along at his own pace.

    Why doesn't he try putting like a real golfer?

    If the long putter isn't just banned outright, it should be limited to old guys, on the senior tour.
