Scott Wins in a Playoff
Adam Scott won another tournament in Texas today over Ryan Moore in an I forget how many hole playoff. I was hoping Moore would win since he is in my Ryder Cup list over in the side bar. But Scott's win was a good one too. I wish the announcers would forget the Greg Norman and Tiger Woods Swing mechanics trivia with regard to Adam Scott. That's getting very, very old. It would have been acceptable for Scott's first couple of years on tour, but he's been out there long enough to have things of his own they can talk about. Just another example of lazy announcers who don't want to do any research or come up with anything original. I mean, during the playoff they could have talked about Scott's matchplay record on the International Presidents Cup team, but did they? No. They did, however, bore everyone to tears with the constant references to the car that the winning player's caddie would win. And after all that hype, did they show the tournament people presenting the car to the caddie? No.

It’s a pretty good win for Scott. Specially considering the fact that he cut short his post Masters Vacation in Australia to capitalize on his good form and boy did he capitalize. Of course being the highest ranked player in the field he was expected to win this tournament but he was pushed to the limit by Ryan Moore.
Ever since he finished 13th in the Masters playing as an amateur a lot has been expected of him and he nearly landed his first win on the PGA Tour but he will have to wait a little more. Of course he has the right to feel disgusted too at the same time. After all you don’t put in all the effort to get into a playoff and see the other player nail a near 50 foot putt.
But on all counts it looks as if Ryan Moore looks all set to turn the corner, he has already notched up a top ten finish in a Major and surely a PGA win could not be far away. Last year it was the Memorial where he narrowly missed out and this year the Byron Nelson championship but he just has to persevere a bit more for that elusive trophy will come his way.
