Adam Scott just won the biggest golf tournament of his career at the 2013 Masters. While this was his first major title, this will not be his last.

Scott is one of the best ball-strikers on tour. He almost always hits it well off the tee and accurate enough to reach greens in regulation with consistency. Although his putting had held him back in the past, he is starting to overcome his weakness and turn it into a strength.



The belly putter might be funny to look at, but it has been effective for the golfer in recent months. In 2013, he has gained .09 strokes on the field with his ...
