Scott: straight back in the saddle after missing out at the Masters<\/p>\n

\n

I’ve been resting for a couple of days. It’s been a big last few weeks, certainly through the Masters, so I’ve been trying to rest up and keep the energy levels as high as I possible can for this week.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Adam Scott is aiming to put his near miss at the Masters behind him with a successful defence of his Valero Texas Open title.\n<\/p>\n

The Australian, who briefly led last Sunday at the Augusta National before finishing tied second behind winner Charl Schwartzel, admits it has been a struggle to get prepared for the tournament he won by one stroke last year.<\/p>\n

“I’m looking forward to getting out there and getting those good feelings happening again from last year and also carrying on the good feelings I had going on on the golf course last week,” said Scott, who has been using a broomstick putter this year in a bid to end the putting woes that have derailed his career.<\/p>\n

“I’ve been resting for a couple of days. It’s been a big last few weeks, certainly through the Masters, so I’ve been trying to rest up and keep the energy levels as high as I possible can for this week.<\/p>\n

“It’s certainly a big let-down mentally or emotionally after any major, whether you’re in the mix or not. It certainly does take a lot out of you, not just in the tournament but in the practice weeks.”<\/p>\n

Scott will be paired with fellow Australian Geoff Ogilvy and Argentina’s Angel Cabrera – both of whom also had good Masters tournaments – for the first two rounds at TPC San Antonio, starting on Thursday.<\/p>\n

And he goes in in good form after posting two five-under-par 67s in the last two rounds in Georgia to move into contention before being eclipsed by Schwartzel and having to share second with Jason Day.<\/p>\n

“I’ve hopefully got something to build on with a good showing at Augusta even though it wasn’t the result I wanted in the end – especially late on Sunday when I was right there with a chance and very close,” added Scott.<\/p>\n

The only Briton playing in Texas is Glasgow’s Martin Laird, who will also enter the competition in good heart after a three-under-par total earned him a top-20 placing on his debut in Augusta.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
