Scott played at Castle Pines in his first PGA Tour event in 2000. Now one of the Tour's elder statesman, he's looking for a big weekend to qualify for next week's Tour Championship.
CASTLE ROCK, Colo. — A good bit has changed in the 24 years since Adam Scott first played at Castle Pines. That happened to be his first-ever PGA Tour event.
Scott put it to good use on Friday during the second round of the BMW Championship, at the course where he made his PGA Tour debut all those years ago. A 9-under-par 63 gave him a five-shot lead over Alex Noren with others still on the course. Scott was referencing the battle to get into the top 50 in FedEx Cup points following the FedEx St. Jude Championship. He started last week in 46th position and the weekend was volatile but his tie for 18th allowed him to move up to 41st place, good for a spot in this week's field.
Being from Australia, Scott endured numerous travel woes and never regained the form that year that saw him rise as high as No. 6 in the World Ranking. “I felt like I've been kind of a bubble boy all year for things, and now it doesn't really matter. It's more about getting out there and playing. My game is in a good place, and that freedom is helpful.’’
“It’s really my iron play has been atrocious for two years, and that's why I've been moving stuff around, because I figured if I leave it the same, I'll keep getting atrocious,’’ said Scott about making changes to his equipment over the last several weeks.
