INTERESTING FACTS
Last year's Qatar Masters proved the catalyst to a season to remember for Adam Scott on The European Tour International Schedule. The 22 year old scored an emphatic six stroke winning margin at Doha Golf Club, which was overshadowed later in the year by his ten shot victory at The Diageo Championship at Gleneagles. The Australian ended the season as one of only four multiple winners, alongside Ernie Els, Justin Rose and Tiger Woods. As a result of his success, Scott became the youngest Australian to achieve multiple wins in the same season on The European Tour.
