Talk:Adam Scott (golfer)

message: I think it's relevant to mention when he switched to the long (anchored) putter. The article only mentions that he felt great about his putting with the long putter during the 2011 Masters. I believe he made the switch after his struggles in 2009. He has become one of the most well known users of the chest anchored putter. Aelsbeck (talk) 16:26, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Long Putter 

message: No one seems to be deleting the first section of the Jean van de Velde article, which reads he "is known mainly for his dramatic loss at The Open Championship in 1999." No one is deleting the part of Greg Norman's article which reads "ESPN, as part of their "ESPN25" 25th-anniversary celebration, ranked Norman's 1996 Masters disaster as the third-biggest sports choke of the last 25 years." Why keep deleting what is clearly both true and relevant?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Screamingpope (talk • contribs) 23:59, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  One of the worst collapses? 

message: Adam Scott's middle names are unlikely "Shackle Dragger" - this is a South African term for Aussies, referencing the convict past. Somebody should tidy this up, maybe after the US Masters

thread_title:  Edit request on 14 April 2013 

message: Introduction needs severe revision as he's won the Masters which is obviously his biggest win, and his Open collapse is no longer such a big deal as a result.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.28.161.206 (talk) 23:43, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Masters winner 

message: I've rewritten the Masters content current in the lead and 2013 sections to improve grammar, and to add cites and wikilinks. The one cite in the current lead is incomplete. And there are currently no cites in the 2013 section.
CURRENT LEAD:
He won the 2013 Masters Tournament after defeating Ángel Cabrera on the 2nd playoff hole; it was Scott's first major championship.[3] Scott is the first Australian to win the Masters.
REPLACE CURRENT LEAD WITH:
He won the 2013 Masters Tournament in a sudden death playoff against Ángel Cabrera.  It was Scott's first major championship and the first time an Australian has ever won the Masters.
CURRENT 2013 SECTION: 
In the 2013 Masters Tournament, Scott finished the 72nd hole tied with Ángel Cabrera for the lead at -9. He then defeated Cabrera on the second hole of a sudden-death playoff to win the green jacket and his first major championship.
REPLACE 2013 SECTION WITH:
Scott won the 2013 Masters Tournament  on the second hole of a sudden death playoff against Ángel Cabrera. Each had birdied the 18th hole, putting them in a tie for the lead at –9 after 72 holes. It was Scott's first major championship and the only time an Australian has won the Masters.

thread_title:  Edit request - Masters 

message: Under Professional Career section, there are 17 paragraphs which do not have any references for verification. Without references for verification, how would the reader know if the information is accurate? I saw the same problem with the John Daly, Greg Norman, and David Duval articles, so this lack of references apparently is a trend with golf related articles on Wikipedia. Since these articles are for living persons, these articles need to follow BLP requirements. If references cannot be found to verify the information found in this article, then this information should be removed to avoid any potential problems.
