Adam Scott

Adam Scott became Australia's first winner of the Masters when he beat Angel Cabrera in a play-off in 2013, thus easing the pain of the previous year's Open.

At Royal Lytham & St Annes, Scott established a four-stroke lead with four holes to play but he bogeyed them all and agonisingly lost by one courtesy of Ernie Els’s closing birdie.

Scott tied for third at Muirfield a year later and was joint-fifth at Royal Liverpool in 2014, two months after reaching world number one. At Royal Birkdale he made his 26th consecutive appearance and secured his seventh top-10 finish at the Championship, ending the week T9.

He hasn’t missed a Championship since making his debut at St Andrews in 2000.

He was a joint runner-up behind Charl Schwartzel in the 2011 Masters and his victories in the US include the 2004 Players Championship, 2006 Tour Championship, 2011 WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, where he started with a 62, and the 2016 WGC-Cadillac Championship a week after lifting the Honda Classic.

At 19, his 63 in the 2000 Greg Norman Holden International in Sydney was a record 10-under-par score for an amateur on the DP World Tour.
