Adam Scott

I am fairly confident that the next number 1 player in the world will be Adam Scott. It might take another 10 years to catch Tiger, but of all the potential challengers I have seen in the past few years around the world, I have no doubt that Scotty has all the tools to get there. Adam and Stuart appleby were paired together on Friday of the Tour Championship, and I got a good look at Adam's new composure and maturity on the course. He was patient, he played away from a lot of pins and noticably, only swung at his driver at about 80% power. Adam's short putting seems to have improved and his chipping and bunker play are now World Class. We predicted about 5 years ago that he would break into the Top 10 in the World, based on his junior and amateur career achievements. Now at 26 years old and number 4 in the World, he is a Major or two away from being one of Australia's best ever.
