JERSEY CITY, NJ – SEPTEMBER 27: Adam Scott of Australia and the International Team looks on during practice rounds prior to the Presidents Cup at Liberty National Golf Club on September 27, 2017 in Jersey City, New Jersey. (Photo by Elsa/Getty Images) /

No matter the course, Adam Scott has continued to play well at the Australian PGA. The Queensland, Australia, native won the tournament’s debut at Royal Pines in 2013 and has since tied for second place in 2014 and took solo third last year. For his career, he has seven top-10 finishes in 11 starts and only one missed cut.

Scott’s been under par in all 12 rounds at this course with a stroke average of 68.33.

He’ll have good vibes and the support of the galleries in his home state, though we’ll have to see if that’s enough to resharpen his game of late. Scott’s taken a month off since a lackluster T50 at the no-cut WGC-HSBC Champions. The 37-year-old seeks his first top-10 since the FedEx St. Jude Classic in June and first win since the WGC-Cadillac Championship in March 2016.

Scott’s golf has understandably come on the back burner due to the birth of his second child late this summer, which helps to explain a dip in production.

“I’d call my golf this year ‘consistently average’ but it wasn’t a mystery as to why so I’m confident of where I can get my game back to,” Scott was quoted by PGA Australia’s Olivia McMillian.
