Scott shows promise but needs more experience, says Woods

TIGER Woods believes Adam Scott, the runaway ten-shot winner of the Scottish PGA Championship on Sunday, is “a great player” who would probably be better off continuing to ply his trade on the European Tour before tackling the more competitive American circuit.

Scott’s amazing eagle-birdie-eagle finish for a fabulous 26 under par total at Gleneagles confirmed what many good judges had been saying about the Aussie for a couple of years: that here is another Peter Thomson and Greg Norman in the making.

Amazingly, he missed five cuts in six events in the middle of the season to drop out of the world’s top 50 and that’s why he was in Scotland rather than Seattle for the NEC World Championship won so splendidly by Craig Parry, another Australian.
