AUSTIN, Texas – Adam Scott ended his seven-match losing streak at the WGC-Dell Match Play – sort of.
In control of his match Wednesday against Thomas Pieters, Scott lost the 16th hole after leaving himself in a tough spot, then dropped the 17th after Pieters made an 18-foot birdie putt. They halved the match.
“It’s pathetic,” Scott said. “I finished par-par-par, but just didn’t beat the guy that I’m playing today. You’ve got to close it out like you’re trying to win a tournament, and that wasn’t good enough today.”
Scott has had a rough time in this event of late.
