Australian Adam Scott, the 2013 Masters champion, is somewhat relishing the role of former winner without having to do all the work required of a defending champion as he was a year ago.
Q: You probably wore the green jacket all over the world, probably more places than a lot of other former champions, but coming back here and wearing it for the one week, how does that differ?
Scott: It's a great feeling to come back and the jacket is hanging in the locker. Even better, it's hanging next to Gary Player's in the locker I share with him. To be able to slip it on at any point here for the week is really fun, to present the trophies to all the kids in the Drive, Chip & Putt Championship the other day, and I'll have the chance to wear it tonight; I'll have a chance to wear it to the dinner, and then I might just slip it on to walk around at any other time. I mean, it's a great feeling. Put it on, it still fits. It feels very good. I was here a couple weeks ago and had dinner at the club and put it on, and I couldn't help but feel like my old friend was back on the shoulders. It was a nice feeling for sure.
