What in the world happened to Adam Scott?

To remember Adam Scott without putting problems is to think back to a time long ago, when he was winning the Players Championship in a blustery March and taking short-game tips from fellow Aussie Greg Norman.

When Scott won the 2004 Players, he was 23, a can't-miss star whose work with instructor Butch Harmon elicited comparisons to Tiger Woods; their swing action was so similar.

Fast-forward to a practice round last week at TPC Sawgrass, where Scott found himself amid Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka and Nick Watney, all students of Harmon or Harmon's son, Claude Harmon III.
