'Kind' Scott... "76-Year-Old Surprise~"

[Asia Economy Kim Hyun-jun, Golf Specialist Reporter] 'Surprise.'

World No. 6 Adam Scott (Australia, photo) made headlines by fulfilling the wish of 76-year-old Ross Campbell. The Australian daily Sydney Morning Herald reported on the touching story of Scott and Campbell on the 28th (Korean time). Campbell, suffering from deteriorating health due to brain tumor and lung cancer, began to confuse reality with his wishes. He believed he was "playing golf with Scott" and spent long hours waiting by the phone while confined to a wheelchair.

Observing this, Campbell's family managed to contact Scott with difficulty. Scott then called and spoke with him like a friend, even sending videos of his 2013 Masters victory and putting practice scenes. Campbell's wife, Pam, said, "I thought famous players must receive many requests from fans," adding, "But Adam responded immediately when we reached out, and I cried the entire time my husband was on the phone."

Scott is a world star with a total of 14 wins on the PGA Tour. In particular, 2013 was a remarkable year when he won the Masters, breaking the jinx that "Australian players cannot win the Masters." After not winning since the Cadillac Championship in March 2016, he demonstrated his enduring skill by claiming the Genesis Open title last February. He is currently anxious as the PGA Tour has been shut down due to the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).
