No. 4 Adam Scott (winner in 2013)

Adam Scott has won 31 times as a professional, including 14 times on the PGA Tour. His only major championship title came at the 2013 Masters, where he beat Angel Cabrera in a playoff. Scott was the first, and is still the only, Australian to win the Masters.

Scott was just 32 at the time of that triumph, and it would have been logical to think that the win would have propelled Scott to greater heights in the golfing world. And while his career has been very good, he did not take that next step.

Still, Scott is a very solid player. He broke a stretch of nearly four years without a PGA Tour victory in February when he claimed the title at the Genesis Open at Riviera Country Club.

It’s never a surprise when Scott contends on the PGA Tour. He has a sweet swing and can hit it a long way. He has had his issues with the flat stick over the years, but he seems to have resolved most of those problems.

It’s hard to say what Scott might do this week at Augusta. It could literally be anything from first to last. But there is the chance that he puts it all together again and wins another green jacket.
