  • TALISKER MASTERS 2012 ADAM SCOTT 1 KINGSTON HEATH GOLF CLUB 15/11/12 KATHIE SHEARER: Adam, You Said Yesterday This Is What You'
    KATHIE SHEARER: Adam, you said yesterday this is what you're planning, this is what you want to do, you want to win before the end of the year, this week and the Australian Open. You played great today. ADAM SCOTT: I played good today, it's a good start, and you need four good days to win I believe. It's a good start, I didn't take advantage of my good play on my first 9 holes but I certainly did on my back 9, so that made up for it. That was a good score out there for me today, really low, but very happy with my start. It's going to keep me in touch with everybody I think, even if someone does go low, at least I'm on my way there. KATHIE SHEARER: Great. Questions please ladies and gentlemen? Sam? QUESTION: What was the main difference that helped you score so well in your second 9 compared to your first? ADAM SCOTT: I just made a few putts. The front 9 I just hit a few shots in there nice and close and had some chances but lipped out the putts, and then missed a real short one on 18, out of frustration I think, but then got it together around the turn and made a great putt on 2 and another good one on 4. Then I was rolling from there, hit a couple of nice shots and had a couple of short birdie chances too, so it was all really solid stuff, drove the ball well today.

Seven’s agreement for the World Cup of Golf delivers all rights in Australia including free-to-air broadcast television, subscription television rights, and expands to Seven’s digital platforms including online, mobile and social media. The World Cup of Golf will be played 23-27 November at Kingston Heath in Melbourne. The event – first played in 1953 – is one of the oldest and most prestigious global golf team events in the world. The 2016 World Cup of Golf will be the 58th staging of the event. Names such as Snead, Hogan, Nicklaus, Palmer, Trevino, Faldo, Ballesteros, Langer, Woods, Els and Day have all been able to call themselves World Champions. Australia has won the World Cup of Golf five times. Jason Day and Adam Scott were champions in 2013. Seven’s partnership with the World Cup of Golf builds on Seven’s coverage of The Australian Open and the Australian PGA Championship along with The Masters from Augusta. Today’s agreement also confirms Seven’s commitment to bringing major events to all Australians. The agreement further strengthens Seven’s leadership as the television network of major international events held in Australia, building on Seven’s coverage of the Australian Open, the World Swimming Championships, the Olympic Games in Sydney in 2000, the Rugby World Cup in 2003 and the forthcoming Rugby League World Cup in 2017 and Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast in 2018.
