AUSTIN, Texas – For the first time since 2005, Adam Scott advanced to the Sweet 16 at the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play, although as the Australian pointed out, “It's hard to get [to the weekend] when I don't play in the event.”
Scott’s relationship with the PGA Tour’s last World Golf Championship is complicated. He lost to Tiger Woods in the semifinals (19 holes) at his second WGC-Match Play start (2003) and made it to the quarterfinals in ’05.
His competitive fortunes after that were not nearly as impressive and this week’s start is his first since 2017.
