Adam Scott Talks Like He’s Ready To Join Nicklaus, Faldo and Woods

There have been only three players that have defended at Augusta and following as serene a first as was possible given the set up, Adam Scott is one quarter of the way to joining Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo and Tiger Woods. 
And he’s talking like  a man who is destined for greatness.
"Getting off to a good start in major is huge, because I think they are the hardest tournaments to kind of chase," Scott said. "You almost have to play flawless. So to get off to a good start is key."
"It's been mentioned and it gets mentioned to every guy who is coming back to defend, I'm sure. "An amazing group of guys, great champions. But it's so much golf to play yet, I can't even think about it."
Scott told Sky Sports that he actually felt the pressure was off him having already the tournament last year and felt more of a sense of calm in round one.
“There’s no doubt winning the Masters last year had me a little more comfortable on the first tee than I’ve ever been in the past. Because I didn’t have the legs shaking and nerves jangling for six or seven holes like usual.”
“It’s hard to calm down after you get going.  Even if you get off to a good start, it’s hard to calm down, let alone a bad start. But having won last year I think in some ways has taken a little pressure off me as I teed up today. I kind of felt like, ‘What’s the worst that can happen? I’m still going to be a Masters champion.’ ”
The only blot on the Aussies copybook was a double on the short 12th when he found the creek with his tee shot.
"It's just that back right pin spot," he said. "It was so little wind, it was probably a problem today, rather than when it's blowing all kinds of directions. I just lost a little focus on that shot and didn't commit fully it and you paid a price on that one. Like I said, the only weak shot I hit, and it's actually the first time I think I've ever hit it in that creek."
Stand by for what could be one of the greatest defences in modern golfing history.

Two Naked Pics Of Holly Sonders. The Big News To Emerge From The 2013 PGA Show

Image
The media centre at the 2013 PGA Show was buzzing yesterday.  Not because of anything that happened at the show.  God forbid! When I rocked in, several men (and one woman) were gathered around an iphone ogling and sharing  two pics of who they claimed were Holly Sonders naked. Now I have to hold my hands up and say, I had to google her to find out she’s from The Golf Channel. I don’t watch the Golf Channel because I don’t have an erectile dysfunction problem or need to rent a car from National.  I’m told adverts for both are all that’s on that channel. How they knew for certain it was her, I dont know.  Unless the cheeks of her ass were on her passport photo and they recognized them from there, but I doubt it. The First Pic The first pic is taken from behind. No pun intended.  The media guys say it was taken by her fiancee (?) and shows Holly in a white thong which has disappeared a dangerously long ways into the bummage.  I’m talking t...

Sarah Stirk Nipple Gate: Navy Top Leaves Viewers Disappointed

Image
London: Sky Sports management this morning issued a statement  apologizing to subscribers after Sarah Stirk wore a navy dress live on air.  It is believed up to 60,000 horny golfers were left limp after they tuned in to final round coverage of the Valero Texas Open in the hope of getting a glimpse of the legendary Stirk starter buttons. “I pay my subscription, I’m bloody well entitled to see Sarah’s Wimbledon strawberries” said factory worker Paul Manning 52 from Hereford. “I even missed the ten minute freeview, coz my mate Derek tweeted that Stirk was going into the shot centre for ten minutes at 11pm”. The Sky statement read: We apologize unreservedly for the navy dress Sarah wore during last nights broadcast, through which no nipples were visible. This was due to a wardrobe malfunction. However we do intend to rectify this during our US Masters coverage and assure viewers that plenty of bridge rivets will be on show, both from Sarah and special guest Colin M...
