World Cup coup flags a Masters rematch between Adam Scott and Argentina's Angel Cabrera The World Cup in Melbourne could see a US Masters rematch between winner Adam Scott and Angel Cabrera. Picture: Mike Ehrmann Source: AFP AUSTRALIA hosting golf's World Cup for the first time in 25 years has raised the exciting chance of having Argentina's Angel Cabrera go shot-for-shot again with Masters conqueror Adam Scott. Yesterday's unveiling of the World Cup for Royal Melbourne from November 21-24 is bigger and bolder than anyone in Australian golf could have hoped for, as a bumper $8 million event. The tweaking of the longstanding format means $7 million will be up for grabs in the individual stroke play event for 60 top pros, while the best of the two-man teams under national flags will split $1 million. International Management Group powerbroker David Rollo hopes now to spice up the Australian Masters on the same course the previous week with several big US-based names. "It would be absolutely terrific to get Angel Cabrera to Royal Melbourne for the Masters and the World Cup," Rollo said yesterday. IMG will certainly explore his availability. Cabrera, 43, may have lost the Masters, but his gesture in giving a thumbs-up to Scott's pinpoint six iron to the final green in their play-off won him a new posse of fans. That the World Cup could be stitched up for Australia in little more than two months after sponsorship issues forced China's Mission Hills to back out is a huge credit to the Victorian Major Events Company. PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem's glowing nod that "the Presidents Cup 2011 was the best in event history" showed the confidence in both Royal Melbourne and Australia as accomplished hosts. Former US Open champion Graeme McDowell, who was bewitched by Melbourne's Kingston Heath last year, will be doing his best to lure superstar world No.2 Rory McIlroy to join him in Team Ireland. McIlroy will be involved in the European Tour's finale in Dubai on the Masters dates, which puts him just a single flight sector from Australian soil for the World Cup. Masters champion Scott fought his game all day, shooting a 75 to drop back to four-under and seemingly out of contention on the last day of the USPGA Tour's Players Championship. After a weather delay, he bogeyed the 12th and 15th and double-bogeyed the 17th. He was left in a tie for 26th and seemingly out of contention.
