Adam Scott - PGA Championship

Adam Scott from Australia is a player who is expected to win big things, he plays most of his golf on the PGA Tour in the USA these days but does appear regularly at events on the European Tour too. He has been tipped as a future Major winner and has already had four top ten Major finishes, including two at the PGA Championship. His 3rd place in this event in 2006 was in fact his best Major performance to date; he was 12th in 2007, behind Tiger Woods. He has been a regular tournament winner since 2001 in which time he has amassed 14 titles and is fast becoming one of the most consistent achievers on the golf circuits. With two titles already this year, firstly at the Qatar Masters, where he scored an astonishing final round 11 under par, 61, to beat Swede, Henrik Stenson by three shots. He then followed that up with a win in the EDS Byron Nelson Classic. Add those wins to two other top ten finishes in the early part of the year you can understand why he became the number three player in the world.

More recently however his form has taken on more modest proportions and his recent finishes suggest that he must improve big time if he is going to win at Hazeltine. 2009 has proven difficult for Scott and he has missed the cut at two of the three Majors so far which has seen his ranking slide.

World Ranking

He is currently ranked 44th in the world.

Playing Style

Adam is usually one of the most accurate players off the tee and combines this with a solid and constantly improving short game. He is coached by Butch Harmon and his swing has already been noticeably improved.
