Australian Adam Scott finally broke his majors' curse with victory at the 2013 Masters—defeating Argentinian Angel Cabrera in an epic two-hole playoff.

Scott showed tremendous courage and focus to hang on for the win in fading light and driving rain, and he deserves all the accolades that have come his way.

Yet for Scott, the green jacket won at Augusta National is not the end, it merely is the latest step in his quest to become one of the world's top golfers. And judging by his 2013 performances, it seems he's well on his way.

That simply isn't Scott, who revels on the longer holes—as shown by his poor numbers on par-four holes in 2012. Barring a minor miracle and a change in his short-iron game, it's difficult to see Scott being competitive against some of the premier short-game players in the world.
