The day Adam Scott became the first Aussie to win The
Masters will forever go down in history.

We will always remember where we were when Scott sunk the winning putt on the first playoff hole to defeat Angel Cabrera.

It’s a moment the man himself will never forget, but Scott is determined for it not to be the only major highlight on his resume.

"It’s hard for me to think that anything I achieve will be bigger than that moment in my career," said Scott.

"But that doesn’t mean I’m not striving to win other Masters Tournaments or any other big championships."

"I don’t want it to be the one major that I win."

Now in his mid-30’s, Scott is determined to add another Major to his name but even he recognises with the quality of the young players on Tour, it gets harder with each passing year.

"I want to win a handful of majors in my career," added Scott  

 "I need to get my skates on because it’s getting tougher and tougher every year."

"There are only a few players who have been very dominant over 40 years old, and it’s probably going to be harder, too, as the young 20‑somethings are better and better."

"My window might not be closing, but it’s not wide open, either," he laughed.

Coming into The Masters this week, Scott is in excellent form. He has already won twice, including a World Golf Championship, and in back-to-back weeks.

And while much was made of his switch to the short putter, he has more than silenced critics, ranked 9^th in putting average for the PGA TOUR.  

"I feel I’ve got the game to win other majors, and I’m looking to win my second major championship this week," added Scott.

"I’ve played some good golf certainly over the Florida stretch, but that’s nearly a month ago now.  I can’t rely on that to get to where I want to be this week." 

"For me starting here this week, it’s a new week and a new challenge, and the way I see it, I’ve got three tough days, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, to put myself in a position to win a Masters championship."

"Everything in the lead‑up has gone well.  It’s up to me to execute it now.  It’s as simple as that."
