Adam Scott Profile

This year’s Johnnie Walker Classic has drawn a strong field that includes world number five Adam Scott, as well as world number 11 Vijay Singh. While Scott and Singh will have to work hard against a field that includes a host of talented locals and emerging golfers, Scott in particular is a favourite to win the title he last claimed in 2005.

Adam Scott Profile:
Born in Australia in 1980, Adam Scott is one of only three young golfers to have made a major impact on the PGA tour. Scott made a bright start to his career, winning the Alfred Dunhill Championship at the age of 21 in 2001, before going on to win the Qatar Masters and Scottish PGA Championships in only his second year of play.

Scott’s career has lost none of its momentum since his first clutch of victories. By 2005 he became the only the third player on tour under the age of 25 to have reached the top ten, an accomplishment which came courtesy of a win at the Nissan Open.

Although Adam Scott is a player of undisputed class, his recent early exit from the Accenture Match Play Championships came as a result of problems in his putting game. He’ll need to get on top of this aspect of his game to take his second Johnnie Walker Classic title.
