Adam Scott intends to use the disappointment of a runner-up finish at the Memorial Tournament to feed his growing hunger to win a second Major championship at Pebble Beach Golf Links next week.
To win on the same green where his late compatriot, Seve Ballesteros, had indulged in one of golf’s most iconic celebrations was, for the 54-year-old, a clearly emotional experience.
The victory was only his second in an individual competition and his first Major on the senior circuit, in contrast to 22 of his 34 US PGA Tour victories and one of his three Majors coming in his 40s.
Bernhard Langer’s hold on the Charles Schwab Cup was never tenuous, at least until he tripped on the final lap and caused the PGA Tour Champions to stumble as well.
