Hurt by Open failures, Adam Scott bounces back into contention at St. Andrews
Through six holes of this Open Championship, Adam Scott appeared to be headed for an early exit.
“Things weren't feeling particularly good,” said the Aussie.
But when he tapped in for birdie at the last on Friday afternoon at the Old Course, Scott found himself just two shots off the lead. After a 4-over start through a third of his first round, Scott battled back to finish 36 holes at 7 under.
“That's what I needed,” said Scott, who fired a 7-under 65 on Friday. “Look, as good as the 65 was today, I think getting back to even was huge yesterday.”
