Online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au has refunded all bets for punters who backed Adam Scott to win the British Open after the Australian gave up four strokes in the final four holes to hand the Major to Ernie Els.
“We all feel for Adam Scott, who had one hand on the claret jug but unfortunately it didn’t go his way at the end of the final round,” sportsbet.com.au’s Haydn Lane said.
“The least we can do is refund bets to ease the pain for patriotic punters who got behind our man, many of whom will be bleary-eyed at work this morning!”
The refund applies to all win bets and the win portion of each-way bets up to $1,000 per member.
