I don't know how he jumped so many spots with his win at the Byron Nelson, but Adam Scott is now ranked third in the world golf ranking. Jim Rome interviewed Scott yesterday on ESPN's Jim Rome is Burning, and I found this to be an interesting statement from the Aussie...
Probably when I turned professional, I thought I would have had that major by now. After a few years into it, I knew it wasn't going to be that easy. We always dream big as kids, and then a little bit of reality sets in. But I'm certainly pushing hard for it, and I fully expect myself to have one before I turn 30.
That gives Scott two years to make it happen. I would say it's a reasonable goal, however, Scott has performed so poorly at the majors. When was the last time you heard Scott's name during the weekend at a major championship? Besides the PGA in '06, never.
