Adam Scott was tied on the sixth spot with seven other players and was two strokes behind the top of the leaderboard, Carl Pettersson. Pettersson had a magnificent six-under par at the end of the first day.
In an interview Scott said, “You’ve got to take advantage when you’re playing well. Obviously I was playing well at the Open, and moving forward I couldn’t let those last few holes spoil my good play. Last week I was a little out of rhythm, but it came back
quickly this week and it feels good”.
“I’d love to use this opportunity while I’m playing well to get in there and have a sniff on Sunday,” he added.
