This was not a good weekend to be Adam Scott. Shoot, this hasn't been a good year to be Adam Scott, but this weekend was particularly painful. Scott, as you no doubt know, is the former wunderkind -- ranked #3 in the world as recently as last freakin' year -- has fallen off the edge of the universe in one of the most precipitous drops in golf history.

But Scott got an unlikely shot at redemption from fellow Aussie Greg Norman, whose lunatic unexpected pick of Scott to join the International squad of the Presidents Cup team incited muffled laughter from all over the golf world. Norman had confidence in Scott in a way that nobody -- possibly not even Scott himself -- else possessed. Could Scott rise to the challenge? Could he, as Waggle Room indicated, remake his struggling career Michelle Wie-at-Solheim style?

Um ... no.

Scott posted a miserable 1-4 record, worst on the Internationals aside from Camilo Villegas's zero-win performance. Scott got knocked around all week, culminating in his 4-and-3 walloping at the hands of Stewart Cink on Sunday.

So where does Scott go from here? At a time when he desperately needed to be away from golf and working on his game (or at least his mental state), he got knocked around like Kimbo Slice all tournament long, and whatever confidence he had in his game is almost certainly shot right now.

It's not over for Scott, obviously; the guy's got far too much talent, and it's entirely possible that he's suffering the lingering effects of a knee injury he suffered while surfing in 2008. But the last thing he needs is more pressure, so he probably ought to go hustle some club pros in Sydney or something.

And the next time Greg Norman calls, let it go to voicemail.
