Adam Scott Reiterates, Expands On His Disdain For Olympic Golf

Some have questioned how someone who tends to go about his way quietly could have such strong resentment toward golf in the Olympics, so it's good to see Adam Scott elaborating on his disdain.

From an unbylined story in The Age on the eve of the Australian Masters:

He said he would have liked organisers to have been more "creative" and considered a mixed team event.

"I'm not really sure how just having another golf tournament is really going to enhance the game or grow the game any more than any other tournament just because it's the Olympics.

"With the field criteria it doesn't necessarily get the strongest field in the game either."

He is correct on both points, though the field make-up is by far much less egregious than the mundane format which was, sadly, endorsed by Scott's peers.
