Adam Scott has got off to a commanding start at the UNIQLO
Masters taking the early lead.

Teeing off in the morning, Scott was greeted by perfect
scoring conditions and took advantage to fire a 7-under 64, setting himself up
with a three shot lead.

"I played really solid, so it’s
nice to see a little bit of the work I’ve been doing last week and early this
week fall into place in a tournament situation," said Scott.

"It’s a dream start, and
hopefully something to build on from here to try and get myself into that
position late on Sunday where you want to be contending for the title."

Staying true to his game plan, Scott remained patient making,
not attacking the golf course and made his first birdie on par-4 13^th,
his fourth hole.

"I don’t think I challenged the course very much.  But we had really nice conditions to play
this morning," added Scott.   

"There was no wind, and weighing everything up, there was no
need to challenge it."

"The greens were still soft and it was right there for the
taking this morning,"added Scott who came home with two birdies in his closing
three holes thanks to a hot putter.

Scott is now fully committed to the short putter and his new
technique.

"This time, when I decided to use
it, I committed to it."

"This is what I’m going to do; I’m
going to putt like this and work at it and try to be the best putter in the
world, like I try to be in every aspect of the game.  That’s what I’m committed to."

"I think the only way to go about
it and compete at a high level is to commit to something."

" I feel like it’s in a good
spot.  I putted well all the weeks that
I’ve used it.  I’m sure I’m going to have
a week where I don’t putt that well."

"But hopefully there are more
good weeks and the confidence continues to build."
