TPC Sawgrass has been burnt by the world’s leading Jason Day. However, Adam Scott and the other Australians have received heavy blows from the scandalous tough course. Jason Day’s bogey won over 63 points which totaled the course record. Australian fans were able to delight in the Player’s Championship during the first round. There was however a rough finish in the games which left the other six countrymen dissatisfied. Scott who is a former champion did not make a stroke of major length in his start of 17 holes where they sat three of them on the 18th T-shirt without a bogeyman. He was able to curve a double- iron tee shot into the water on the final and he hit his third shot very well straight past the green.
He was then able to cut back into the water via an impossible position. After that he three-putted for a multiple bogey eight and a 73 times round. Scott announced that he was still in shock as he did not expect the game to be disappointing for him as it had been. He admitted to pulling very terrible shots in the game. Scott however had taken part in the Honda Classic earlier in the year where he made a multiple bogey and managed to win the tournament. John Senden was not doing so well on his 9thhole which was also last hole, this was happening while Scott was messing up in his 18th hole. The bushes short left of the green and the Queenslander had a little bit of misunderstanding when the Queenslander made a bogey on the 8th hole.
This resulted in the bushes winning the tournament thus leaving the Queenslander with a triple bogey eight and a 75 round. Aaron Baddeley who is aggressive on regaining a tour card for this season was position six after 15 holes right before he dropped three strokes at the finals for a 69. Baddeley was able to double the seventh and also bogeyed the eighth at the end. Matt Jones was able to put down eight shots in the remaining 11 holes with two holes on four and three others on eight for a 78.
What worsened the situation was Steven Bowditch who lost seven shots in the last four remaining holes starting from double bogey, bogey, double bogey from 15-18 straight to plummet and finally to an 80. Marc Leishman was able to shoot 70 as he counterbalanced five birdies and an eagle with triple bogeys and a double bogey.
