And really two days practice with it and I felt like I was at the levels I was at last year, which are very high.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m coming to a major. I\u2019m not here to throw the balls up in the air and see where they fall. I want to make sure I give myself the best chance to perform at the highest level I need to win. Basically that will be with the longer putter because I\u2019ve done more practice with it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Scott added he will probably continue to use the longer putter for the rest of the year, until the ban is enforced t the start of 2016, but added: \u201cThat doesn\u2019t mean I won\u2019t work on other things or continue to develop some alternative method of putting. But I need to continue to perform well. I want the confidence to build.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Scott named Bubba Watson, Rory McIlroy, Jimmy Walker, Jordan Spieth, Patrick Reed and Dustin Johnson as his main rivals this week, but when asked about Tiger Woods said: \u201cMy guess is as good as yours. I have no idea what he\u2019s been doing \u2013 it\u2019s a bit unknown with Tiger because he hasn\u2019t played for a few months. I\u2019m sure he has high hopes. With Tiger, anything\u2019s possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.yourgolftravel.com\/19th-hole\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/adam-scott-2-6x4.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-20415 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.yourgolftravel.com\/19th-hole\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/adam-scott-2-6x4.jpg\" alt=\"adam-scott 2 6x4\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/19th-hole.yourgolftravel.com\/19th-hole\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/adam-scott-2-6x4.jpg 600w, https:\/\/19th-hole.yourgolftravel.com\/19th-hole\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/adam-scott-2-6x4-300x200.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 600\/400;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adam Scott, the 2013 Masters champion, has switched back to his longer putter for the first major of the year, and says it took him&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5191,7,5188],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-21810","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-adam-scott-golfers","7":"category-golf-news","8":"category-us-masters-championships"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
