Everyone on tour is ‘astounded’ by one thing Adam Scott is improving every single year

Adam Scott heads into the final round of the US Open on Sunday with a real chance to win his second major.

Scott is a real legend of the game, there is no debate about that. The US Open this week is the 96th consecutive major that he has teed it up in.

The 44-year-old Australian oozes class from his amiable personality all the way through to his textbook golf swing.

If Scott wins the US Open on Sunday, he will set a new record of the longest span between majors victories – it has been more than 12 years since his last major triumph at The Masters in 2013.

He should have won so many more majors throughout his career, with the 2012 Open Championship the one that really got away.

Nobody would begrudge Scott his second major win on Sunday. His game is certainly in good enough shape to win at Oakmont.

One thing he has managed to do particularly well is enabling him to compete with the best of the best, despite the fact that he’s in his mid-40s.

Everyone on tour is ‘astounded’ by Adam Scott

Scott has managed to shock his fellow pros by doing one thing better and better with each year that passes.

His all-round game is exceptional, especially from tee to green.

Scott’s majestic swing is a joy to watch, and any young children just starting out in the game would do well to copy the Australian’s motion.

The 44-year-old still hits an incredibly long ball off the tee. He still averages over 300 yards off the tee, with an average ball speed above 180 mph.

On the final hole of his third round at Oakmont on Saturday, Scott lasered a drive down the middle with an incredible 187 mph ball speed.

And Dan Rapaport has suggested that Scott’s fellow tour pros are astounded by the speeds he continues to generate off the tee.

The fact that Scott is getting longer off the tee the older he gets is hard to fathom really.

Scott is definitely still one of the longest players in the game today, which is quite the achievement given his age.

However, whilst he is longer now than when he won The Masters in 2013, he actually hasn’t incrementally increased his ball speeds year on year since he turned 40 four years ago.

Those are still some mightily impressive numbers from Adam Scott, and the really amazing thing is that he doesn’t look like slowing down anytime soon.

A lot of people will be pulling for Scott during the final round of the US Open on Sunday, and he will need as much length off the tee as he is able to muster if he is to be victorious.
