Adam Scott eyes major title rush Masters champion Adam Scott is hoping to put a Greg Norman-sized footprint on Australian and world golf, becoming the greatest men's major championship winner in the country's history. Returning to competition at The Players Championship for the first time since securing his first major title at Augusta National, 32-year-old Scott didn't shy away from Norman's prediction that he could eclipse the five majors won by Peter Thomson in the British Open in the 1950s-60s. Only Nick Faldo and Tiger Woods have won six or more majors since the 1980s but world No.3 Scott wasn't afraid to set the bar high when he fronted a tournament media conference on Wednesday. To win more than five would be a dream career. There aren't too many guys lately that have been able to do that. It's a good goal to have," Scott said. I should set my goals high like I always have. If I can find the balance of using this as a motivator and take the confidence out of what I was able to do at Augusta, then hopefully the floodgates can open. It happened a lot for Phil Mickelson when he finally won his first major. He won four quite quickly after that. Scott thanked Norman repeatedly for his support and, when asked if he could have the same effect on Australian golf, he was hopeful he too could inspire a golfing generation. Greg's had a huge belief in me. He's always pushed me to achieve. Slowly but surely I'm getting there maybe," Scott said. Greg was revered around the world. He was the best in the world. He wasn't just the best Aussie golfer at the time, he was No.1 in the world for the better part of 10 years as I grew up. That's a different level than where I'm at. I don't think I'm at that point at all. But you don't know. If I go on to win more tournaments and hopefully get to No.1 some day, then I hope that will be as positive an impact as he had on the game. I think only my performance can dictate that. Already Australian golf is begging for him to return to celebrate his achievements and to play in the Australian summer of golf as much as possible. While Scott is expected to fit at least two, perhaps three, of the big tournaments on his schedule he also encouraged his fellow Australian players to help lift the sport back home. "I still encourage the other Aussies to keep playing well so we share that responsibility," Scott said. We've got so many good players. I don't think it needs to all fall on my shoulders. I grew up seeing that Greg had a tough time in Australia. It was very hard for him. He came back and supported it, but he was under the microscope, and that is a tough position to be in, especially in your home country when you're away all year and you want to come home and enjoy being home. I think he's handled it very well and we'll deal with it the best we can.
