Scott Comes Through

Hello. Congrats to Adam Scott for winning the Byron Nelson on Sunday. It's his first win this year, and second in a row in Texas.
Unfortunately this victory isn't as huge as it used to be. Since Byron Nelson passed away, the field isn't as good as it used to be. Tiger doesn't come anymore, and he wouldn't have anyway this year as he's still healing from knee surgery. However, Scott did what I said all players should be doing - entering tournaments where your odds of winning are high.
While he's won more lately than Sergio Garcia, whose career Scott's parallels most, Scott still hasn't really shown up in the majors. That's why you have to still put Garcia at the head of the "Best to Never Have Won a Major" list for now. Scott is unfortunately on the top of the "Best to Never Have Seriously Contended at a Major" list with Paul Casey.
Why is Scott so dismal in majors? In a word, putting. He has to work on that part of his game. If he hadn't sunk a 50-footer, and if he'd lost to Ryan Moore in the playoff, missing two 10 footers for the victory would've been the lead story.
Congrats again Adam! Hope this leads to major contention.

Regards,
Steve
