Is Adam Scott the new Ian Baker Finch?

I ask the above question after noticing him +17 after 2 rounds of the USPGA and close to last with scores of 79,82.

This guy used to look like a possible major winner and a top 10 ranked player, he's currently no.46 and set to drop further.

How can a guy with such a good swing turn so poor at such a young age?

I think maybe his attempt at stack and tilt may have upset him. I thought he had a very smooth swing anyway but he obviously wasn't happy with it and wanted to make changes. I think he'll come back but probably never to the heights in the rankings he once was and I think a major isn't within his capabilities

I don't know what's going on. I've watched him (and some) on swing vision/youtube and he's spot on with his swing.

Maybe he's too busy keeping things going with Ana?

One might expect the odd glitch in a career but 17 over....that's extraordinary. He must be in a bad place now.

Given his swing is so good, maybe a "guru" for all the rest is the only answer. Poor chap. I'm a huge fan.

Adam played well at the scottish Open this year,its obvious the talent is still there. I would like to think that he will return to playing the way we all know he can.

Ana Ivanovic...there's an excuse not to go to the range and practice.

Still young enough to turn it round,Lee Westwood went through a similar period.
