Off-form Scott eyes third Singapore title

WORLD number six Adam Scott will be looking to put a distinctly average season behind him this week when he attempts to win the Asian Tour’s flagship event, the Barclays Singapore Open, for an unprecedented third year in a row.

A winner by seven strokes in 2005, the Australian retained the title last year, outlasting Ernie Els in a three-hole play-off at Sentosa Golf Club’s Serapong course.

But — with just one win this season, at the Shell Houston Open — the 27-year-old admits he has not been happy with his golf form in 2007.
