Adam Scott hits a horrible shank right into the Masters crowd

Look out at Augusta.

Ask anyone who follows these things closely -- players, media, coaches -- who has the best swing in golf? The answer is almost always Adam Scott or Louis Oosthuizen. Scott is about as pure as it gets tee to green, so if he’s shanking it like this, something has gone horribly wrong.

This was just a basic light iron swing, one he’s made hundreds of thousands of times. But that’s as bad as you’ll ever see from Scott. That part of the gallery really, really should not come into play or be worried about incoming golf balls at the 13th.
