Poor Bastard Of The Moment: Adam Scott

Golf player.  By all accounts (at least the ones I heard when I saw the replay of the last holes of the final round of the British Open yesterday) a really nice guy.  Had his first major tournament title in his hands through 14 holes.

And then Scott went bogey-bogey-bogey-bogey.  He made the same number of bogeys in the first three rounds of the weekend's tournament as he did in the last four holes.  And when his last putt shimmied to the left of the hole, the choke was complete, and Ernie Els (by all accounts also a great guy, at least according to the talking heads I saw on the replay of the last holes of the final round of the British Open yesterday) won his fourth major.

From golf immortality to a collapse for the ages.  All in just four holes.

Poor bastard.
