Adam Scott has Augusta on his mind after staving off a host of challengers – and plundering a timely eagle at 15 – to claim his second Australian PGA Championship at RACV Royal Pines Resort on Sunday.
Beginning the final round with a one-shot buffer and world ranking position stacked heavily in his favour, Scott flexed his muscle early with a kick-in birdie at the opening hole but took a further 14 holes before delivering the knockout blow.
When he found the water with an iron from the tee at the 268-metre par-4 eighth, Scott fell back into a four-way tie at 10-under with playing partners Nick Flanagan, Wade Ormsby and Kiwi Michael Hendry playing in the group ahead.
