DESPONDENT two-time Singapore Open champion Adam Scott called the quality of golf he played to miss the cut here 'miserable', saying that he needed to get away and sort out his game.
The Australian, ranked third in the world in July, has slipped to 17 after battling bouts of recurring tonsillitis, but was expecting to do better here after finishing joint sixth at the HSBC Champions in Shanghai last week.
'I played miserably. I just did not know where the ball was going and that of course put a lot of pressure on my putting,' said Scott, the winner in 2005 and 2006 and third last year behind Angel Cabrera and Vijay Singh.
The 28-year-old's game never got going and he ended his rain-hit second round on Saturday at seven-over for the tournament, missing the cut by three shots.
'It's been a very disappointing two days,' he said.
'After playing well last week I thought I would do better. Obviously I have a good record around here but this week things didn't happen.'
'I just need to get away and get ready for next year and sort things out.'
The recurring tonsillitis, brought on by a hectic travel schedule, was a double blow for Scott who suffered a break on the edge of his right hand above the little finger in mid-May.
He said before the tournament that on doctors orders he would cut down on his travel next year to avoid having further health problems. -- AFP
