It never ceases to amaze me how cruel people can be to our elite athletes, not to mention our golfers.
Point in case, Adam Scott's demise in the final round of The Open. Some tabloids have been claiming it to be the worst choke since the 96 Masters.
I for one, wish that the public would celebrate Adam's fantastic effort over 68 holes rather than concentrate on his final four holes.
I have had the honour to spend some time with Adam on the golf course, completing a charity fundraiser event over 100 holes of Marathon Golf for the Adam Scott Foundation.
The manner in which he accepted defeat does not surprise me. He is a true gentleman both on and off the course.
I'm hoping that Adam doesn't let this misfortune get him down for too long. In fact, I'm backing him to do a Rory McIlroy, and bounce back with a win in the next major, the US PGA.
Let's all get behind him at Team Titleist, he did us all proud!
