(AP) — Adam Scott can understand why so many people thought he would have a hard time getting over his epic collapse in the British Open. They didn't understand his master plan of trying to get better instead of just trying to get better results. Ernie Els walked away from Royal Lytham & St. Annes with a silver claret jug.

And the most honest. The world's No. 2 golfer was asked why Tiger Woods has won five times at the Memorial Tournament. "The same reason he's done so well everywhere, I guess," McIlroy said, prompting loud laughter. Woods' dominance isn't necessarily a laughing matter for the rest of the...

The British newspaper The Guardian reported Garcia was asked in jest while on stage at the European Tour's awards dinner Tuesday night if he would invite Woods to dinner during the U.S. Open.
