Adam Scott was supposed to be Australia's next major winner. Then one of his best pals leapfrogged him.
Have you ever thought, 'Damn it, I wish it were me'?
AS: No, because I'm still pretty confident that I'm going to win a major, or two, or three, in my career. It was important for an Australian to win a major. We were getting a lot of pressure from back home, like, "Who's gonna win one?"
Deep down, does Geoff feel like he hit the lottery?
AS: He probably does feel a little fortunate for what happened there with Phil, but it's all part of the game. I think there's definitely winner's luck involved in any tournament. He took advantage of it. Other guys didn't.
So Geoff's win has lifted the weight of Australia's major hopes off your shoulders?
AS: Absolutely, [but] I want to win one, too, obviously. There's a — not a rivalry — but, more like inspiration among all the Aussie guys, to see one of us do something good. Now we want to win a major, too.
