If you're like most out there, you're sick and tired of hearing about Steve Williams and him taking over the press last week instead of the talented player Adam Scott, who WON!
Adam Scott turned pro in 2000. Born in Adelaide, Austrailia on July 16,1980. Adam attended the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. He's won 4 tournaments in the past 5 years, and placed 2nd in 3. This year, Adam has 4 Top ten finishes and 7 Top 25. In 2007, he finished with 6 Top Ten finishes and earned $3,413,185. This year, he's just shy of $3 million in earnings. Currently, he's ranked 15th in the Fed-Ex Standings with 1,232 pts.
Adam plays Titleist MB forged irons, KB tour stiff. He plays the Titleist 910 woods and a 910H hybrid. He also uses Vokey Design wedges. His putter is a Scotty Camerom Kombi Long Putter. As I mentioned on twitter today, he started using the long putter after his Coach had him try it. And last but not least, the Titleist Pro V1 golf ball.
His Foundation....
Adam established the "Adam Scott Foundation" whose mission statement is to provide support to disadvantaged and underprivileged youth by providing the help to overcome difficulties or to offer opportunities that they otherwise would not have. I think like most people, it is best when we see those in the position to, give to those charities that are less fortunate. And for that to be to our youth of today, is doubly great!
At this week's 93rd PGA Championship, Adam currently sits in a tie for 7th. He's moved up the ladder 4 positions today and he has 5 holes to play! He's captured 2 birdies and 1 bogey thus far today. Friday's round consisted of 4 birdies, 1 bogey and 1 double bogey. His first round on thursday, he had 5 birdies and 4 bogeys. He has consistently started to trim those bogeys off of his card. If he keeps his focus and keeps the bogeys away, Adam Scott will be in the Top 5 to finish this tournament, if not have a back to back WIN.
I think that Adam has proven that he has the talent, just as he's had long before Steve Williams. And Adam will himself admit that Steve does bring out the good in him. Whether Steve's a good guy to have on his bag is aside from how Steve looked after his interviews last week. I won't inject too much of my personal opinion, as I don't wish to slam Williams. I just think everything was handled poorly, that's all. I believe Adam Scott deserved much more attention that an "ex-caddie" of Tiger Woods. I think that players today have the discipline and talent as well as the best of equipment, to improve their games. I think technology will continue to improve as well. After all, everything that doesn't change, gets left behind.
Now, Go Hit Some Balls.........
