Adam Scott (FootJoy golf shoes, StaSof glove) returned to the winner's circle in a big way over the weekend, winning the Australian Open by five shots for his first professional victory on his home soil.

Scott, who shot an even-par 72 on Sunday, won 14 times worldwide since turning pro in 2000 before breaking through in his native land. He finished the week with a 15-under 273 total at New South Wales Golf Club.

The win follows a string of solid finishes for the Aussie who moves back inside the top 50 and most likely locked up an invite to the Masters. He tied for third in the Singapore Open, tied for sixth in the Australian Masters, tied for seventh in the Dubai World Championship and now a victory in the championship all Australians covet outside the four majors.

"I always thought I'd get my chance," Scott said. "It's so bizarre, this game, that off the back of such a bad year I finally played good enough to win down here.

"This is very, very special to me to win here," Scott said. "This is going to be very sweet and something I will treasure for the rest of my career."

Australia’s Adam Scott (FJ ICON style #52005, StaSof glove) made the Valero Texas Open his first PGA Tour victory in two years, shooting a combined 11-under 133 in a 36-hole finale Sunday to win by a stroke.

The 2008 Byron Nelson Classic winner, Scott overcame two early bogeys with an eagle on the par-4 17th in his third-round 66, then built his lead with six birdies en route to a closing 67 on the new Oaks Course at TPC San Antonio.

Scott finished at 14-under 274 and earned $1,098,000 for his seventh career tour victory.

Adam Scott fired a 3-under 68 to win the Barclays Singapore Open for the third time. Adam, who was also victorious here in 2006 and 2007, laced up a pair of FJ ICON style #52005 and wore a StaSof glove en route to his seventh career European Tour title. Following a five hour rain delay on Sunday, the leaders returned to the course Monday morning to play the back nine.

Chased by several players from start to finish, including Ian Poulter who won here last year, the former World Number Three parred the 16th and 17th before finishing with a flourish when he birdied from 12 feet at the last for a three shot margin of victory.

“It feels great,” said Scott, who last won on The European Tour two and a half years ago. “Relief to finally get finished, it’s been a bit of a long week. I’m very happy to be winning here again.

Adam Scott (FJ Sport and StaSof) won the WGC Bridgestone Invitational by four shots with brilliant golf over the weekend.  Scott's tournament began with a bogey-free round of 62, one stroke off the course record, to take the early lead in the Championship.  A second round 70 would not hurt Adam as he shot a four under par 66 on Saturday to retake the lead. 

Entering the final round one stroke ahead of the field, Scott shot a one under par 34 on the front side to stay in control of the tournament.  On the back nine Scott ran away with the tournament making four birdies, including a chip-in birdie on the par 3 twelfth.  Scott would cap off his captivating weekend with a birdie on the last to win by four shots over world number one Luke Donald finishing in second.  This is Scott's first WGC Victory, which also moves Adam back into the top ten of the Official World Golf Rankings.

Hometown favorite and fifth ranked player in the world, Adam Scott shot a 5-under 67 to win the Australian Masters at Kingston Heath in Melbourne.  

Starting the day one stroke back, Scott wasted little time birdieing the first to draw even with the 54 hole leader.  Scott, in FJ Sport and StaSof, then added four more birdies on the front making the turn with a one stroke lead.  On the back nine, Scott added eight straight pars before making birdie at the last to finish at 17 under par, four clear of his closest competitor.  This is Scott's first win of the 2012 season.

Scott later stated of his win, "This has been a long time coming, This is pretty sweet to be in the gold jacket and hold this trophy that I've been admiring since I was a little kid."

 Coming off major heartbreak at last year's Open Championship, Adam Scott knows what major pressure feels like on Sunday of a major championship.  With that experience in his rear view, Adam Scott put on a performance for the ages winning the 2013 Masters in a playoff over Angel Cabrera.

Adam Scott began the day one stroke behind the leaders, at six under par.  Opening his final round with a bogey, Adam quickly gained the stroke back with a long left-to-right birdie putt at the third to climb into contention.  Parring out on the front, left Scott three strokes behind then leader Cabrera.  

With ground to make up, Adam narrowly missed the hazard on the heavily protected par five 13th green.  A chip and a short putt gave Adam birdie, closing the gap on the leaders.  Scott struck again hitting the par five 15th green in two shots and two putting for a birdie, which put him putting in a tie for first place.

After just missing birdie bids on 16 and 17, Scott had a downhill 20 foot birdie putt on the 72nd hole of regulation.  After much deliberation with his caddy, Scott stood over the putt and brushed it in the low side of the hole, exploding in emotion as it rattled around the bottom of the cup to reach nine under par.

Not to be outdone, grizzly veteran and two-time major champion, Angel Cabrera knew a birdie was needed to have any hope of another green jacket.  Splitting the fairway, Cabrera then stuck his approach shot to a mere putters' length.  Cabrera converted the birdie bid forcing the playoff with Scott.  

On the first hole of the sudden death playoff, both players launched drives right up the center of the narrow, punishing fairway.  Hitting their approach shots, both players hit the green only to spin off one of the steep Augusta National false front's.  Cabrera was outside of Scott and missed his birdie chip by inches.  Splitting pars, Scott and Cabrera headed to the 10th where Bubba's famous hooked gap wedge occurred the previous year.  

Hitting the ski sloped fairway in regulation,  both players hit brilliant shots into the green leaving makeable birdie putts for the win.  Cabrera putted first, facing a slippery right-to-left slider, and missed ever so slightly on the high side giving Adam a putt for the win.  Taking his time to find the perfect read Scott stood over his putt drained it to become a Master's Champion.

This is Adam's first Major Championship and first Master's Championship for an Australian born player.

"All of the power is coming from the ground and my connection to the ground is through my shoe, so I believe I need to be in control and connected to the ground throughout my golf swing and I believe the FJ Sport can do that for me." said Adam Scott on why he chooses FJ Sport. Continuing, "All the feel in this game comes through your hands and I choose StaSof because it gives me the feel I am looking for in a golf glove."
