The shot was inches away from an ace. Instead Adam Scott was lucky it didn’t end up wet.
All square against Sam Burns through 10 holes in their second-day match at Austin Country Club, Scott appeared to gain the upper hand on the par-3 11th, as his tee shot was tracking towards the flagstick. The ball never left its mark, which proved to be unfortunate for the former Masters champ.
The tee shot ended up hitting the stick and ricocheting towards the pond, one of the unluckiest shots you’ll ever see.

Just brutal.
The only saving grace was Scott’s ball stayed dry. The Queenslander ended up making par to halve Burns on the hole. Alas, Scott ended up losing the match by one hole at the WGC–Dell Match Play, meaning this unlucky break loomed large.
