OPEN HEARTBREAK LEADS TO MASTERS GLORY<\/p>\n
With renewed self-belief, Scott made a huge change in 2011 that would prove to be a key step in the path to a major breakthrough.<\/p>\n
With Tiger Woods sitting out the US Open and The Open with a knee and Achilles injury, Scott seized the opportunity to have esteemed caddie Steve Williams temporarily on the bag.<\/p>\n
Woods fired the New Zealander, who was once Greg Norman\u2019s looper, soon after and Williams became a permanent member of team Scott.<\/p>\n
Their relationship quickly blossomed with top tens at the 2011 PGA Championship and the 2012 Masters.<\/p>\n
Before Williams experienced a throwback to his Norman days with the Australian at the 2012 Open Championship.<\/p>\n
Scott matched the course record at Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club with a first round 64.<\/p>\n
It was a platform for what appeared to be a maiden major title.<\/p>\n
The Australian boasted a four-shot lead at the start of the final day and when he birdied the 14th hole, he restored that buffer with four holes left to play.<\/p>\n
What was meant to be a procession quickly turned into disaster.<\/p>\n
Invoking memories of Norman\u2019s great collapses, Scott bogeyed the final four holes to hand the Claret Jug to Ernie Els by a shot.<\/p>\n
\u201cNext time — I\u2019m sure there will be a next time — I can do a better job of it,\u201d Scott said that day.<\/p>\n

Those words became prophetic the following year.<\/p>\n
That heartbreak would become the catalyst for one of the biggest accomplishments in Australian sport.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think because he\u2019s had so many close calls (he keeps pushing for another major),\u201d Fox Golf expert Paul Gow told foxsports.com.au.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn 2012 (at The Open), he bogeyed the last four and Ernie (Els) won the tournament.<\/p>\n
\u201cSome people say he had to have that loss to win The Masters, I don\u2019t think that\u2019s correct.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think Adam contends just about every time he tees it up.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s not a golf course out there that doesn\u2019t suit him.\u201d<\/p>\n
There has arguably been no golf course that has suited him better than Augusta National.<\/p>\n
Scott and compatriot Jason Day were left sharing runner-up honours in 2011 as Charl Schwartzel birdied the final four holes to win the green jacket in one of the most stunning Sunday bursts in Masters history.<\/p>\n
But after successive years of contending at Augusta, Scott\u2019s, and Australia\u2019s, time famously came in 2013.<\/p>\n

Scott started the final round one shot off the lead, while countryman Day and Marc Leishman were in the hunt until late.<\/p>\n
Destiny was finally on Australia\u2019s side.<\/p>\n
Scott let out an almighty roar of \u2018c\u2019mon Aussie\u2019 after holing his birdie putt on the 18th.<\/p>\n
But the job was not done as his final round of 69 ensured he finished level with Angel Cabrera, and a playoff would have to decide it.<\/p>\n
That was where Williams proved his worth. <\/p>\n
The Kiwi helped read the winning birdie putt on the second playoff hole.<\/p>\n
Williams revealed years later that he told Scott that the 15-foot right-to-left putt broke further than he thought because he recalled a similar putt Norman had years earlier.<\/p>\n
He was spot on and pandemonium erupted in living rooms, golf clubs, pubs and offices across Australia.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe like to think we\u2019re the best at everything. Golf is a big sport at home, and this is the one thing in golf we hadn\u2019t been able to achieve,\u201d Scott said at the time. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s amazing that it\u2019s my destiny to be the first Australian to win. It\u2019s incredible.\u201d<\/p>\n

The drought breaker also paid tribute to his childhood hero.<\/p>\n
\u201cAustralia is a proud sporting nation, and this is one notch in the belt we never got,\u201d Scott said at the time. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s amazing that it came down to me today. But there\u2019s one guy who inspired a nation of golfers, and that\u2019s Greg Norman. He\u2019s been incredible to me and all the great golfers. Part of this belongs to him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nowadays, Scott believes he does not cast his mind back to that rainy playoff often enough.<\/p>\n
\u201cI probably should reflect on it a bit more. It\u2019s all incredible memories,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
\u201cI think the level of my golf at that time was really outstanding. I also think about the determination I had around that time to make the most of my good play. I was pushing myself quite hard to get there and it happened at The Masters.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve started sharing the Masters a little with my kids,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019ve caddied for me in the Par 3. They\u2019ve attended now. They\u2019re a little older. I haven\u2019t sat down and watched The Masters with them, but they\u2019re getting to that age where maybe they could sit through that.\u201d<\/p>\n
The secret to Scott’s iconic Masters win | 02:40<\/p>\n
WORLD NO.1, MORE HEARTBREAK AND DEFYING FATHER TIME<\/p>\n
Scott equalled his previous career high ranking of No.3 in the world after donning the green jacket.<\/p>\n
He received a hero\u2019s welcome back home in Australia that summer and almost treated his adoring fans to a hat-trick.<\/p>\n
Only a Rory McIlroy birdie on the last hole of the Australian Open stopped Scott from a rare triple crown after winning the Australian Masters and the Australian PGA Championship.<\/p>\n
Scott was in sublime form at the time with his Augusta triumph serving as the centrepiece of a five-year stretch where he registered a top ten in at least two majors each year.<\/p>\n
Despite such a brilliant run, the fact he is not a multiple major winner has meant there was more heartbreak along the way.<\/p>\n
The Claret Jug proved elusive once again at the 2013 Open.<\/p>\n
He led by a shot heading into the back nine of the final round at Muirfield but lost by four shots to Phil Mickelson.<\/p>\n
The Australian made four straight bogeys on the back nine, while Mickelson made four birdies in six holes to finish.<\/p>\n
Scott would again finish in the top ten on the British links as well as at the US Open in the following two years.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe could have won The Masters a couple of times. He could have won a couple of Opens,\u201d Fox Golf expert Paul Gow told foxsports.com.au.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt just didn\u2019t fall his way.\u201d<\/p>\n
The near misses still sting.<\/p>\n
When asked if he would trade his 100 straight majors accomplishment for a second green jacket, a Claret Jug, a Wannamaker Trophy or a US Open trophy, Scott said it was a no-brainer.<\/p>\n
\u201cEven with my maths I can figure the strike rate out,\u201d he told Australian reporters with a laugh.<\/p>\n

That missing second major was something Scott touched on when he charged into a top five finish by going 14-under par for the weekend at Trump National Doral last month.<\/p>\n
\u201cPart of me doesn\u2019t want to be the guy yet who just has all these other things that aren\u2019t based around winning events,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would rather win some stuff, and let\u2019s celebrate winning the US Open than just playing in it. I feel like that, but, you know, I can give myself a pat on the back for hanging in there and playing all these events.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy head\u2019s still really in, like I should be able to compete and win these things, so maybe I don\u2019t see it as much of an accomplishment.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I guess if you ask someone who is at two Majors it seems like a long way away. I\u2019ll give myself a pat on the back, but I would love to still win.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite multiple heartbreaks at The Open, it is actually at The Masters where Scott though he was most likely to become a two-time major champion.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m actually a little surprised I haven\u2019t really got it going around Augusta as well since winning,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not for a lack of trying. I thought I\u2019d be able to get in contention a little bit more, but it\u2019s proven difficult. <\/p>\n
\u201cAnyway, I\u2019m going back for many more years and while I\u2019m still fit and healthy, I think there\u2019s chances for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Scott has always made it clear that he plans to use his lifetime exemption at Augusta National for as long as possible.<\/p>\n
The fact he has been a constant presence at the other three major championships has largely been down to the work he has done away from the golf course.<\/p>\n
Scott hits the gym most days a week, including during tournaments.<\/p>\n
A regiment involving \u201ca lot of work with bands and cables\u201d for speed, flexibility and strength has been the key.<\/p>\n
As well as \u201ca lot of ice baths and some physiotherapy\u201d for recovery.<\/p>\n
Having grown up on the Gold Coast, Scott also loves surfing but wishes he caught waves more often.<\/p>\n
The thinking behind the way he has built and maintained his body his mightily impressive.<\/p>\n
\u201cGolfers hit so many balls on one side all the time,\u201d Gow said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat basically leads into an ailment comes along – you can be putting too much pressure on your left leg or your right shoulder, or your neck turns the wrong way.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think Adam has done a great job over the years to balance his body.<\/p>\n
\u201cHis left side is as strong as his right side.\u201d<\/p>\n

That work has also helped him not only keep up with the modern game but still hit the ball as long as most on the PGA Tour.<\/p>\n
Scott believes that he is focus on the process and the day-to-day grind in the gym counteracts the current nature of the sport.<\/p>\n
\u201cEverything\u2019s \u2018Insta\u2019 this and \u2018Insta\u2019 that,\u201d he told Australian reporters.<\/p>\n
\u201cI see a big shift from when learning the game in my teenage years and looking up to professionals, consistency was revered. <\/p>\n
\u201cI think the way the game\u2019s moved, the top players are still incredibly consistent, but we are all shooting for such a high standard. The reality is that for four to six weeks a year, everyone one has their best scores. <\/p>\n
\u201cThose who are slow and steady don\u2019t win this race very much anymore. <\/p>\n
\u201cConsistency or longevity, I think, is less desirable today and maybe that\u2019s why this milestone of mine is standing out.\u201d<\/p>\n
REJECTING LIV AND US OPEN REGRET<\/p>\n
Scott\u2019s strength in his resolve has always been a key trademark of his.<\/p>\n
Following the Covid-19 pandemic, the state of men\u2019s professional golf was in disarray with the emergence of LIV Golf.<\/p>\n
In the early days in 2022, Scott was widely rumoured to be one of the breakaway league\u2019s biggest targets.<\/p>\n
Given his close relationship with former LIV chief executive Greg Norman and his admiration around the world, the Australian looked like the perfect fit.<\/p>\n
But ultimately Scott\u2019s desire to not risk his place in the majors led to him rejecting LIV\u2019s advances and staying with the PGA Tour.<\/p>\n
In fact, he dived even deeper into the tour he has called home for more than two decades by becoming a player director and attending White House meetings with US President Donald Trump last year as they tried to resolve the conflict between LIV and the PGA Tour.<\/p>\n
Scott\u2019s willingness to throw himself into the fire has certainly been appreciated by his colleagues.<\/p>\n
\u201cI look at Adam and I look at Justin Rose, two guys that are at a very similar stage in their careers and have probably had two very similar careers, and I look at a lot of their contemporaries or the people that they grew up playing with, and basically all of them chose one route, and these two guys chose another,\u201d Rory McIlroy said before The Memorial Tournament earlier this month.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have just so much respect for them to — you know, it would have been very easy for them to take another path at the age that they were, but they both knuckled down and they have been rewarded for that. <\/p>\n
\u201cJustin\u2019s had an amazing last couple of years. Adam continues to be one of the best players in the world. Yeah, I have so much respect for those two guys.\u201d<\/p>\n
Exactly a year ago, it felt like the golf gods were smiling on Scott once again.<\/p>\n
After continuing to front up week after week, year after year, he was in contention at a major once again.<\/p>\n
The veteran played his way into the final group in the final round of last year\u2019s US Open.<\/p>\n
He was one of the few players in the field to be under par after 54 holes and it seemingly came from nowhere.<\/p>\n
\u201cI felt like I had no momentum all year leading into that tournament and I felt like that was a real equaliser that week,\u201d Scott told Australian reporters last week. <\/p>\n
\u201cNo one playing Oakmont was going to have any momentum. It\u2019s just so brutal. I was kind of shooting even par no matter what course I played. Which isn\u2019t good most weeks on tour, but at Oakmont it is.\u201d<\/p>\n
On the final day, however, the heavens opened and drowned Scott\u2019s chances.<\/p>\n
Those who got out earlier enjoyed a massive advantage as J.J. Spaun went onto win by holing a monster birdie putt on the 18th green.<\/p>\n
Scott felt hard done by.<\/p>\n
After a weather delay, he shot seven-over par in 11 holes of rain and darkness.<\/p>\n
He ultimately lost to Spaun by seven shots.<\/p>\n
Scott believed they should not have been out there as the course was saturated.<\/p>\n
The pivotal moment was when a waterlogged lie on the 11th hole led to his ball flying over the back of the green and he made double bogey.<\/p>\n
Scott wishes he had handled that instance differently.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel in the moment I was like, \u2018I\u2019m not going to be the guy complaining.\u2019 But looking back on it, of course, I think I should have,\u201d Scott told Golf Digest at The Memorial earlier this month. <\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe not complain but spoken up after my shot at 11.\u201d<\/p>\n
Playing partner Sam Burns complained at one point about his ball being in a puddle on the fairway, but it fell on deaf ears.<\/p>\n
Post-round, Scott received a text from USGA officials.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think they were just checking my temperature that I wasn\u2019t steaming,\u201d Scott recalled.<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t reply.\u201d<\/p>\n

COUNTDOWN TO THE CENTURY<\/p>\n
The previous US Open at Pinehurst was when the prospect of 100 straight majors truly came onto Scott\u2019s radar.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was brought up in the media because it was questionable whether I was going to make it or not,\u201d he recalled to Australian reporters last week. <\/p>\n
\u201cI went to the qualifying and ended up being the first alternate, but I ended up getting in off my ranking anyway. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a strange year where the world ranking section, I think the Monday of the tournament was the cut-off. <\/p>\n
\u201cSomeone picked up that it was my 92nd consecutive, so it\u2019s been a little bit of a countdown since then.\u201d<\/p>\n
The countdown has gone into overdrive since his brilliant weekend at Trump National Doral last month.<\/p>\n
Scott\u2019s tie for fourth that week ensured his world ranking \u2013 currently at 49 \u2013 would guarantee him a start in both the PGA Championship and the US Open.<\/p>\n
Reports had circulated that the USGA were considering offering the Australian a special exemption to guarantee him a place in the field.<\/p>\n
That never would have been Scott\u2019s style.<\/p>\n
He would not have been comfortable with a handout, nor was he overly comfortable when he and Nicklaus came together at The Memorial for a photo shoot to celebrate the milestone.<\/p>\n
Discussing it with Australian media, Scott clearly felt awkward standing alongside the 18-time major champion, but the mood was quickly lightened.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe kind of congratulated me,\u201d Scott said with a chuckle.<\/p>\n
He told Nicklaus that his record is \u201cpretty safe\u201d, and the 86-year-old simply replied: \u201cI know\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe that\u2019s good motivation for me to win one or two more majors and I can extend this out,\u201d Scott added again with a laugh and a smirk. <\/p>\n
\u201cTry and catch him for another 11 years or something.\u201d<\/p>\n
It is easy to imagine what else Nicklaus might have had to say given his answer when asked about Scott during his press conference at The Memorial \u2013 which he hosts.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo be prepared and to be able to stay healthy so you can play is quite an achievement,\u201d Nicklaus said.<\/p>\n
\u201cAdam has kept himself in shape. He plays well. He\u2019s 45 now, so you know, he\u2019s got a few more years to play in him.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhether he\u2019ll get 40 more (majors), I don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnyway, he\u2019s been a good player, and he\u2019s been right there in a lot of tournaments.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s had the opportunity to win a lot more than he has.\u201d<\/p>\n

WHAT\u2019S STILL TO COME?<\/p>\n
That last line is what still drives Scott.<\/p>\n
He wants to win more, whether that is in majors or elsewhere.<\/p>\n
The Presidents Cup is one his desperately wants to win.<\/p>\n
The Australian holds the record for the most appearances in the biennial event with 11 but is yet to taste victory with the International team.<\/p>\n
He is currently in the automatic places to be on countryman Geoff Ogilvy\u2019s team this September in Chicago.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think I can play for another couple years. I\u2019ve come this far. If I can play in a couple more years and contribute a point, then I\u2019d love to be on a winning Presidents Cup team,\u201d Scott said after the 2024 edition in Canada.<\/p>\n
He has long been touted as the ideal International team captain when the tournament returns to Australia at Kingston Heath in 2028.<\/p>\n
He may still be playing at age 48 and could replicate Tiger Woods\u2019 efforts as a playing captain at Royal Melbourne in 2019.<\/p>\n
Another captaincy opportunity on his radar maybe for the Australian team at the 2032 Brisbane Olympic Games \u2013 if he is not playing having never competed at Olympic level before.<\/p>\n

It is obvious why Scott is the perfect candidate for leadership positions when you speak to those who get to witness what happens behind the scenes.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe 100 per cent goes out of his way any time there\u2019s an Aussie kid playing in any tournament,\u201d Golf Australia\u2019s general manager of high-performance Brad James told foxsports.com.au.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll talk to (his father) Phil and say, \u2018hey Phil, there\u2019s a young guy in the field this week\u2019 and the response is \u2018done\u2019. Not even a question asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cThose stories you never hear about them and that\u2019s the way Adam operates.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s phenomenal. He doesn\u2019t get any recognition for it, and he does it without any self-promotion,\u201d James added.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s always there to have a practice round with the guys and to offer them support by sharing his challenges.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s extraordinary on what he does with the young kids coming through the system.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe couldn\u2019t be thankful enough for what he does behind the scenes.\u201d<\/p>\n
That generosity extends away from golf too.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe has the Adam Scott Foundation that\u2019s huge here in Australia that really helps out people in need and kids in need that need a better education,\u201d Fox Golf expert Paul Gow told foxsports.com.au.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe does that under the radar. No one ever really talks about it, but I think it\u2019s incredible.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for on the golf course, Gow believes Scott has plenty more to give.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy wouldn\u2019t he go to 50 something?\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cVijay Singh, who\u2019s had so many body issues, can play on the PGA Tour still at times.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt wouldn\u2019t surprise me if Adam Scott played on the PGA Tour until he was 55 if he wanted to.\u201d<\/p>\n
PGA Tour events are not what get Scott out of bed in the morning, however.<\/p>\n
He clearly wants another major.<\/p>\n
Phil Mickelson won the PGA Championship at age 50, so Scott can dare to dream.<\/p>\n
He was disappointed with missing the cut in the second major of the year last month.<\/p>\n
But Scott found something with a tied 12th finish at The Memorial almost a fortnight ago.<\/p>\n
He is brimming with confidence, saying Shinnecock is \u201cright up my alley\u201d because \u201cthere\u2019s definitely shades of some Melbourne Sandbelt around there\u201d.<\/p>\n
Perhaps the golf gods have been waiting for the perfect moment to add a second triumph to Scott\u2019s script.<\/p>\n
