World No. 11 Adam Scott has enjoyed a steady start to his 2017 season with five top 25s in eight PGA Tour starts, but he put himself near the top of the leaderboard Thursday at TPC Sawgrass with a couple unlikely birdies in his closing holes.
On the 14th, Scott left his approach at the par-4 just short of the green, but he banged in a 44-foot putt from the fringe to drop to 5-under for his round.
On the very next hole, Scott blocked his drive over the right bunker along the fairway, but was able to hit a phenomenal recovery shot under a canopy to 13 feet, eight inches.
