ADAM SCOTT is hoping to capitalise on Tiger Woods' current injury misfortune and take his first giant steps into Major-winning territory. The world No.1 will be out for around six weeks as he undergoes knee surgery, and Scott believes that gives the big-name stars more of a chance of Major success this year.
Woods was beaten into second at Augusta after South African Trevor Immelman led from start to finish to claim a first Major. Australian star Scott only managed a 25th-placed finish at the Masters after a poor final round of 76 in Augusta - not a good return for a player hotly tipped for Major success. But he believes that the failure of Woods is good news for the challengers.
He said: "It gives up hope. He hasn't won his last two (tournaments) so he's human. He's out for a few weeks so hopefully we can take advantage of that." Scott is confident that a concerted effort in America over the next three weeks can be the launchpad to success this season. Scott was so convincing when he roared to victory at the Qatar Masters earlier this year. And the world No.10 feels his form is still good despite a poor return in the season's first Major.
He said: "It ended on a bit of a sour note but my form is good. I'm really happy. I've done a lot of stuff different this year. I just haven't quite put it together for four days. It's going to happen. I just have to be patient and convert what I'm doing. The rankings come and go, they're so volatile. I'm a couple of good weeks away from being back up there."
Scott is looking to put together a good run in America over three weeks in a bid to ensure his game is in gear for the US Open at Torrey Pines in June. Scott lines up at the EDS Byron Nelson in Texas this weekend before heading to North Carolina for the Wachovia Championship and then to the TPC Sawgrass in Florida the following week for the Players Championship.
