Scott Finishes With a Bang at Tour Championship
Hello. What a difference a win makes.
Adam Scott has had a very good season this year. This past week he turned it into a great season with a win at the Tour Championship. Scott was the only player in the field to shoot in the 60s every day at a tough East Lake course in Atlanta.
With this win, Scott moves to #3 on the PGA money list behind some guys named Woods and Furyk (who should also be commended for finishing 2nd in the Tour Championship, and 2nd overall on the money list). As a twentysomething, Scott seems yet again to be Tiger's main rival for 2007.
Will it happen? Well, I thought it would after his win in the Player's Championship a few years ago. Since then his record in tournaments in general and majors in particular cannot compare to Tiger's on any level. In short, Adam Scott is not a very good putter most weeks. He does well in spite of his putting, although it was in fine form at East Lake.
Can Scott make himself a good putter, like Tiger did? I'm not sure. This win may now motivate him to greatness. Hopefully it gets rid of the attitude he had after Tiger won the WGC American Express Championship, when he said he's going to play in tournaments Tiger doesn't play in so he can win. If that comment was not tongue in cheek, then he has to increase his self-confidence when facing Tiger head-to-head.
Maybe Tiger and fellow Aussie Geoff Ogilvy can motivate Scott to improve his performance in majors. If so, 2007 could be a very good rivalry year.
Regards,
Steve
