Mood directs Scott

ADAM Scott tends to play less rather than more, though he’s not opposed to making it up as he goes along depending on the mood and the game.

That’s one reason the Gold Coast golfer chose to play the Texas Open coming off a 70-71 weekend at the US Masters.

It didn’t work out as Scott played in the windy side of the draw in San Antonio and missed the cut.

But it reminded him of an occasion 10 years ago, when he tied for 25th at the US Masters with a reasonable performance. He flew home to Australia and played golf with some of his friends. And he was playing well.

“And I’m like, ‘Why am I wasting my good golf on you guys?’,” Scott said. “So I flew back the next week to Dallas and won the Byron Nelson.”
