AUSTIN, Texas – Frustrated with his game during a back-and-forth match with Bill Haas, Adam Scott still had a chance to advance to the knockout stage of the WGC-Dell Match Play if he could birdie the short par-4 18th.
Needing to win the match outright, Scott couldn’t control his wedge shot coming out of the right rough, leaving him a sharply breaking 20-footer that slid by the cup on the final green. Haas then put him out of his misery, coaxing his 12-footer down the hill and into the cup for a 1-up victory.
