Ailing Adam Scott Leads Houston Open

Adam Scott

Defending champion, Adam Scott drug himself out of bed yesterday despite a fever and swollen glands to play the first round of the Houston Open. Presumably, he’s glad that he did, having set a course record with a 9 under 63 and taking an early lead in the tournament. Still ailing, he went directly to see the course doctor after the round. Just think what he would have shot if he were 100 percent.

The 27-year-old Scott also made Green Posse’s list of the top 8 hottest players on the PGA Tour earlier this year.
