Scott sets sights on career Grand Slam

World No. 2 Adam Scott said yesterday he was eyeing a career Grand Slam after bagging the US Masters as he prepared to tee off at the Australian PGA Championship.

Back on home soil after a stellar breakthrough year, the 33-year-old Australian said he wants to join the five men to have won all four current majors — the Masters, US Open, British Open and US PGA Championship.

“As long as I keep the intensity in practice and preparation I think I can win more majors, win another Masters, win (British) Opens, hopefully US Opens and PGAs,” Scott said at the Royal Pines on the Gold Coast.

“I’d love to win the career slam, the four majors, and put myself in that really small group of players who have won all four majors.

“That’s a long way off at the moment. I’ve only got one so there’s a lot of work to do.”

Only Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, Ben Hogan, Gary Player and Gene Sarazen have won all four of the majors.

Scott has been in irresistible form this year and said his more immediate goal was to add an Australian PGA Championship win to his Australian Masters and Australian Open titles.
