Scott’s performance marks an excellent return to form after not registering a top ten finish at all last year.

The American led at one point in the final round at Pebble Beach a week ago, but a back nine collapse ruined his chances of victory there.

He even ended up on the beach beside the 18th green and thinned his shot from the sand and pebbles into the sea wall and his ball ricocheted back into the ocean.
