Scott wants to win another major before age catches up

Adam Scott has a limited shelf life to realistically win another major and knows he needs to seize the moment in the final round at the PGA Championship.
Scott, 38, carded a five-under-par 65 on Saturday and will tee off two strokes behind American leader Brooks Koepka at Bellerive on Sunday.
“A couple years have slipped by where I really haven’t contended and I’m going to relish it tomorrow because if it’s another five, basically you’re wheeling me out to pasture at that point,” he said after the best round of the afternoon.
If he wins, Scott no doubt will dedicate it to fellow Australian Jarrod Lyle, who died of cancer on Wednesday, but he is too self-effacing to suggest it is more important to him than others.
“No matter who wins tomorrow I think if that person has met Jarrod Lyle, then they will have felt something with him passing this week,” he said.
“It’s been such a difficult thing for us to get our heads around because we have been removed from Jarrod and his family back in Australia.”
Scott’s lone major triumph came at the 2013 Masters, where he wielded a long putter to become the first from his country to collect a Green Jacket, less than a year after blowing the British Open with a late meltdown.
He had an 11-week stint as world number one in 2014 but has struggled at times in the past couple of years and is currently ranked a lowly 76th.
He he has shown signs of life recently, however.
Three weeks ago he was on the fringe of contention going into the final round of the British Open at Carnoustie but he pressed too hard in strong winds and drowned his hopes in a burn on the fourth hole.
It was an experience he will keep in mind today.
“I was right there and unfortunately I think I took the wrong mindset into the Sunday round and expected myself to shoot too low in pretty tough conditions and shot myself in the foot,” he said.
“But it was good to be back feeling like I had a chance to win a major. There’s a good score out there. “However, there’s the pressure of Sunday of a major as well. So I think what I’ll learn from the Open Championship is not to really put a number in mind.”

Wallace fires hole-in-one
Britain’s Matt Wallace fired the first hole-in-one of the 100th PGA Championship on Saturday, using a 5-iron for an ace at the 232-yard, par-3 16th hole.
The 28-year-old Englishman lifted himself to two-under par for the third round at Bellerive Country Club and into a share of 20th at five-under par for the event, eight shots behind leader Brooks Koepka.
Wallace blasted the ball into the air and watched as it bounced twice then rolled only a few more feet into the cup.
Wallace jumped into the air in excitement and pumped his right fist with delight as he ran around the tee box area.
When he reached the green, Wallace pulled the ball from
the cup and hurled it into the crowd.
Wallace has three career European Tour triumphs, last year’s Portugal Open and this year’s Hero Indian Open and BMW International Open.
He beat Andrew Johnston on the first playoff hole for the victory in India and edged Thorbjorn Olesen, Martin Kaymer and Mikko Korhonen by a stroke to win the BMW International.
