In a phone-a-friend moment during the coronavirus pandemic, Adam Scott reached out to a fellow golfer who'd been waiting for his call.
Under the headline "No cameras, no trophies, but Adam Scott just won the lockdown's act of kindness award," the Sydney Morning Herald newspaper reported Tuesday about an interaction
between one of the world's leading players and a fan he'd never met, but who believed the pair were golfing buddies.
Ross Campbell reportedly has seven brain tumors and experiences confusion, including a belief that he and Scott regularly played rounds together.
The 76-year-old Campbell's daughter reached out to Scott while he was briefly back in Australia and the golfer readily agreed to make a call.
The newspaper quoted Campbell's wife, Pam, saying she stood by in tears as the pair spoke.
