Adam Scott’s latest collapse at the US Open led to a tie for 12th place, adding to his list of agonizing finishes in major championships. The challenging conditions at Oakmont Country Club proved to be a formidable test, with Scott and other players struggling to maintain their positions on the leaderboard. Despite a valiant effort, Scott’s chances of victory slipped away on the 15th hole as the course conditions became nearly unplayable.

Scott, who had been aiming to become the oldest US Open champion in decades and join a prestigious group of Australian major winners, fell short once again due to the unforgiving nature of the course. However, there was a silver lining to his disappointment as he secured exemption into next year’s Open at Shinnecock Hills and maintained his streak of consecutive major championship appearances.

The 45-year-old golfer’s near-miss at the US Open serves as a reminder of the challenges and unpredictability of professional golf, where even the most seasoned players can face setbacks. Despite the heartbreak of falling short of victory, Scott’s resilience and determination to continue competing at the highest level demonstrate his enduring passion for the game.
