Scott says he can dominate at Augusta Adam Scott believes he can follow his breakthrough US Masters victory by becoming a dominant player at Augusta National like Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson. Speaking ahead of his defence of the Australian Masters at a rain-soaked Royal Melbourne, world No.2 Scott said winning the event at Kingston Heath last year had been an important step in his rise to major champion in Augusta in April. Having also won the Australian PGA last week to go with his 2009 Australian Open title, Scott feels he has little left to prove in Australia, although winning at Royal Melbourne - consistently rated among the world's greatest courses - would be special. "People say you haven't achieved everything in golf unless you've won the Open at St Andrew's," Scott told reporters on Wednesday. But for an Australian I think to win a tournament at Royal Melbourne is the same kind of thing. But he's also eyeing much bigger goals, starting with a second US Masters title at Augusta National, after this year becoming the first Australian to don the green jacket. "The last few years my level of understanding of that golf course grew and then obviously culminated in winning this year," Scott said. I'm really looking forward to going back and I feel I have an opportunity to develop even more there and become a dominant player like a Phil Mickelson or a Tiger Woods there. Woods, a four-time Masters winner, and Mickelson, a three-time champion, are among just 16 multiple winners in the event's history. Scott said holding out Englishman Ian Poulter to win last year's Australian Masters had been an important confidence-builder, particularly after giving up a four-shot lead with four holes to play in that year's British Open, at which stage he was yet to win a major. Consistent American world No.8 Matt Kuchar, who won two US PGA events this year and didn't miss a cut, looms as the biggest threat to Scott's title defence this week. No other entrant is inside the world's top 50, with Victorians Geoff Ogilvy, the 2006 US Open winner, and Marc Leishman, who tied for fourth behind Scott in the US Masters and will play with him again on Thursday morning, among other fancies. Steady rain on Tuesday became even heavier on Wednesday, prompting Scott and many others to cut short their pro-am rounds. More showers are forecast for Thursday. "The ball is not going very far ... ball striking is going to be at a premium if the conditions stay the same," Scott said.
