BRITISH OPEN: Adam Scott WD's Because of "Bitchin' Swell"

TURNBERRY, Scotland -- Passionate surfer and occasional pro golfer Adam Scott withdrew from the 138th Open Championship on Thursday before sprinting off the course after seeing what he thought was a "massive set" building on Turnberry Bay.

Excusing himself from playing partners David Duval and Nick Dougherty, Scott picked up his ball and scrambled down the rocks near the 10th hole, yelling "Dude!" excitedly and removing his clothes as he went.

Upon reaching the Bay, however, Scott realized the set was merely the wake from a passing fishing boat.
