AUSTIN, Texas — You want crazy, here’s crazy: Adam Scott has more stroke-play wins in the last four weeks than he’s had wins in five-plus years in this WGC-Dell Match Play tournament.
But he didn’t lose Wednesday in his first-round match to Thomas Pieters? Don’t try and force a silver lining on the Aussie.
“You have to close out like you’re trying to win a tournament,” Scott said. He was still shaking his head, still trying to come to grips with being 2 up through 15 holes only to walk away a half-hour later with a measly halve.
