Adam wants to be a great Scott

ADAM SCOTT signalled his determination to become ''a dominant force'' on the European Tour by taking command of the Scottish PGA Championship at Gleneagles.

Scott defied the persistent rain which soaked the Centenary Course to card a flawless second round 65 for a 12 under halfway of 132.

It gave the Australian a four-shot lead over compatriot Richard Green, who added a 71 to his opening 65, with Ryder Cup captain Sam Torrance a shot further back after a 68 alongside Welshman David Park. Scott's six-shot victory in the Qatar Masters in March - when he led by three at halfway after opening rounds of 67 and 66 - was only his second on the European Tour after a number of near misses, but he intends to get much closer to mentor Greg Norman's total of 14 tour titles before switching his attention to the US tour.
