After losing the Open Championship in crushing fashion the year before by bogeying the final four holes, Scott quickly rebounded to win the 2013 Masters for his only major.<\/p>\n<p>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.australiangolfdigest.com.au\/adam-scott-to-play-australian-pga-open-and-cathedral-invitational\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Adam Scott excited to play Australian PGA and Aussie Open at Royal Melbourne<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Not surprisingly, though, the Queenslander still thinks about that missed 10-footer that would have gotten him into a playoff with Ernie Els at Royal Lytham &amp; St Annes. What might surprise golf fans, however, is the other putt in his career he wishes he could have a mulligan on.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe surprise isn\u2019t the right word, if you remember the 2021 Wyndham Championship. But you\u2019d think the former world No.1 would pinpoint another heartbreaking moment in a major. Anyway, if you do remember the 2021 Wyndham Championship, it was a wild finish.<\/p>\n<p>Kevin Kisner wound up winning a six-man playoff at Sedgefield Country Club in North Carolina. But it was Scott who lost his opportunity to hoist the trophy when he missed this four-footer for birdie on the first playoff hole.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">4&#8242; 3&#8243; putt for the win on the 1st playoff hole \u2026 <\/p>\n<p>Adam Scott was 53 of 54 for the week inside 5 feet. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/P4aQJYnjfy\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/P4aQJYnjfy<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 PGA TOUR (@PGATOUR) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PGATOUR\/status\/1426979655140184071?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">August 15, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ouch. Well, on Wednesday, he was reminded of that ahead of this year\u2019s Wyndham Championship. Not that Adam needed to be reminded of it.<\/p>\n<p>Q. Adam, not to pour any salt in the wound, but how often do you think about that 2021 playoff here? <\/p>\n<p>ADAM SCOTT: \u201cWell, a lot the couple days coming back here. It really, it does sting. I was doing a little function last night and I talked about it, and if you asked me quickly there are two putts that I really feel strongly about in my career and that\u2019s one of them. The other one was at the British Open one year to make a playoff with Ernie. Yeah, the two putts I wish I could have back really.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Then he added something about why the Wyndham miss stings so much.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThinking back to it at the time, it hurt then but it kind of almost hurts more now because I haven\u2019t won since then either,\u201d said Scott, whose last PGA Tour win came at the 2020 Genesis Invitational. \u201cIt\u2019s not easy to win out here. You really do have to take advantage of those opportunities on tour because you just don\u2019t know when the next one\u2019s going to come.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>OK, now it makes total sense. Anyway, good luck making a better putting memory there this week, Scotty.<\/p>\n<p>    <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It would be hard to think of too many better bounce-backs in golf history than what Adam Scott&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":34138,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[566],"tags":[64,63,755,85],"class_list":["post-34137","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-golf","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34137","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34137"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34137\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34138"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34137"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34137"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34137"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
