Starting the week at No. 41 in the season-long points race, Scott is projected to vault to No. 4 if he were to go on to victory. He talked after the round about the change of mindset after locking up a top-50 finish and a spot in all of the signature events.
“Leaving the range, I just kind of wanted to keep moving in the right direction, grind out and shoot under par and keep going that way. Then by the middle of the round I was thinking of how many birdies can I make. It’s funny how that happens.
“But I do, I feel like I really don’t have anything to lose this week. I can’t go out of the top 50. I’m going to have a good schedule in the Signature Events next year. Of course I’d love to make it to East Lake, but now I’d love to win this event.”
