Adam Scott hits 35-yard drive on Quail Hollow's 18th hole, still fires 67

Adam Scott ranks 45th on the PGA Tour in driving distance, averaging 305.2 yards off the tee.

On Saturday, however, Scott hit a drive that traveled just 35 yards.

Let Scott explain: "Yeah, I tried to cut one off the creek, and I pulled it, and it hit the tree right off the tee and just dropped in front of the tee box. It's a long par 4 that way."

Scott still had 440 yards to the hole after his tee shot. His next shot traveled 310 yards but missed the fairway right. Scott had to navigate the tree line with his third shot, which didn't reach the green either, coming to rest just outside of 15 yards from the hole.
