Anchors Away: Adam Scott Wins Honda Classic
Adam Scott, whose victory at August National was one of the marquee wins which forced the USGA and R&A to ban anchored putting, returned to the winner's circle capturing the Honda Classic this weekend. Scott was close to capturing his first PGA Tour victory since the Colonial in 2014 last week at Riviera. Scott rebounded from the runner-up finish in LA to capture one of the Tour's premiere events in Palm Beach Garden, Florida.
During the Golf Channel's PreGame coverage, host Todd Lewis asked Brandel Chamblee who the win would mean more for: Sergio Garcia or Adam Scott. Chamblee, in typical fashion, used a lot of words without ever answering the question. It was another missed opportunity for the Golf Channel anchor who spends most of his time and energy ripping on Tiger. The answer is easy: the win means more for Adam Scott. Since the ban on anchored putting was announced, most wondered what type of impact it would have on those players who had found success utilizing this method. Scott answered that question by winning in February with a "conforming" putter and putting method.
Unfortunately, the round wasn't as pleasant for other golfers like Shane Lowery.
Next week, the Tour heads to GOP Front-Runner National and Doral.
Remarkably, Scott was able to overcome a quadruple-bogey on Saturday at the 15th hole after putting his tee-shot and his third-shot into the water on the Par 3 which starts the famed "Bear Trap." Contenders like Sergio Garcia and Justin Thomas crept up on Scott during the final round but ultimately faltered. Scott was precise and consistent all day.And the trophy goes to ...

I will never blame players who are caught swearing as long as networks continue to litter tee boxes, fairways, and greens with mics. NFL players don't have to deal with dropping "F bombs" on television because they do not play right under microphones.Shane Lowery is just like you and I. When he hits it in the water, he tells it like it is. #HondaClassic https://t.co/IHZauauWxL— Ryan O (@RyanO1L) February 28, 2016
