6 years agoWe always prefer to target Adam Scott on Poa greens, but Muirfield Villages' wide fairways have made it difficult for us to ignore the 27th-ranked player in the world. Since struggling to make the U.S. Open last season because of his ranking, Scott has been a changed golfer in his past 14 events. Two top-10 showings at the PGA Championship, a close call at the Masters and two narrow misses at the Northern Trust and Farmers Insurance Open have turned back the clock for the 13-time PGA Tour winner. When we think of what usually plagues the former UNLV product from having more success weekly, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to pinpoint the struggles he has endured with his putter. However, in his past 12 trackable events, Scott has only lost strokes on the greens twice and has gained over 2.5 strokes with his flat stick five of those times. Unfortunately, a lot of his close calls have still been undone by his inconsistent nature with his putter, but at a venue where he has quietly recorded four straight top-35 finishes since 2013, Scott's ball striking makes him one of the top contenders in the field. --Spencer Aguiar - RotoBaller
