Masters Memories

Ian Baker-Finch recalls Adam Scott's dramatic 2013 victory at Augusta National – a win that ended Australia's 77 years of hurt

Scott jacketed-up

Baker-Finch is confident the Australians would again feature in 2014 and pointed out how many times over the past few years an Aussie has contended, going back to 2011 when Scott, Day and Geoff Ogilvy were in the top five when Charl Schwartzel won. Stuart Appleby also lead the field in the latter stages of the event some years earlier.

"I thought Jason would win last year when he got in front but he just didn’t get it done in the closing stages. I think the next time he gets in that position, he will win.

"I interviewed Adam for CBS down at Doral the other week and he’s really relaxed and in good shape. The ominous thing is that he’s feeling very confident with the putter.

"He said he’s putting really, really well which is a good sign going into Augusta."
