Birdie-Less Scott Not Giving Up on Australian Open
SYDNEY — Adam Scott cannot remember the last time he failed to secure a birdie in a round of golf but despite shooting a two-over-par 73 on Friday he still has not given up hope of a second Australian Open title this week.
The 35-year-old Australian has still not won in 2015 and had declared himself "fired up" to break the drought at the Australian Golf Club this week.
After a topsy-turvy level par 71 in high winds on Thursday, however, the former world number one failed to raise his game in calmer conditions on Friday and combined 16 pars with two bogeys to slip down the leaderboard on two over for the tournament.
"It wasn't what I was looking for at all," he told reporters.
