PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — Festive had crossed the line over into outrageousness, which is standard fare when adult beverages have been served for hours on a warm, sunny day.
But as challenging enough as that situation was late Sunday afternoon for Adam Scott in the final round of the Honda Classic, what compounded it were the golf details. He had just three-putted the 16th green and now he surveyed a 183-yard shot over water one day after two water balls at the par-3 15th had resulted in a quadruple-bogey and cost him a comfortable lead.
