He is 42 years old but not a drop of sweat on him. Woods could have filled Rae’s Creek alone. “I like that ‘age’ thing,” smiles Scott, too polite to take questions properly. He was fitter than three-quarters of the players on tour, and some were almost twice his age. He’s rocking a brown shirt. How many men can make a brown shirt look good? But in Augusta, at this time of year, it seems like everything happened 10 years ago this week for Australia’s only Green Jacket winner. He’s so comfortable with the event that he didn’t bother to show up until Monday afternoon. Witcher Steve Williams is recorded as 87th out of 88 loopers, enough put Australia’s superstitious types into a spin, not to mention the year Larry Mize came into the game beat Greg Norman in a playoff. Adam Scott takes a hit in the opening round. Scott has been messing around with equipment, shafts and heads for past few weeks and admits he wasn’t exactly comfortable with them at the biggest golf event of year. Can you imagine Steve Smith going out on the first Test at Lord’s, replacing a stick he just started using a few ? Scott just shrugs. On the first hole, he hit an approach where his ball glides along the side of a bunker like Tony Hawk. It somehow dripped green. Augusta doesn’t usually treat golfers like that. “I think all ex-champions feel [goodwill here] here,” said Scott, after starting tournament with the under-68 four, taking three shots off lead. “I think you even get good breaks from that. “[But] I’ve always felt that that’s what I’m most nervous about on a golf course… the first tee at the Masters on Thursday. We haven’t played a major since last summer. We all know how special this place is for golfers, and the anticipation, the nerves. and competitive nerves, and it’s hard to get it under control.When he finally taps his toe with only hope of the day, he’s in good traction for major, which means more to him than any other . Williams is right when he says that Scott needs win second major to rise from a great golfer truly great golfer. Had he been in Augusta, his legacy would have been consolidated. Jon Rahm, Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy and Tom Kim will beat him before Father Time. With Mize Sandy Lyle and Jose Maria Olazabal Vijay Singh throwing their seemingly never-ending rounds of honor each April , it wouldn’t be surprising if Scott played here for another 15 years. or 20 years. Then and only then can he be ready to throw in the towel. Brown shirt or something. Watch US Masters for free on 9Now or Live on 9GemHD.
