Adam Scott fires 63 in his 1,501st career round. The 45-year-old Australian chases his best finish since mid-2024.

Adam Scott reminded the field that age is just a number at the PGA Tour event this week, posting an impressive 63 to move into contention.

The Australian’s round marked his second 63 of the week and propelled him into a tie for second place, just three shots off the lead. It was a remarkable performance that came in Scott’s 1,501st career round on the professional circuit.

A Strong Finish on the Horizon

For the 45-year-old Scott, the low scoring effort represents a genuine chance at a significant result. His last notable finish came back in July 2024, making this week potentially his best showing in several months. The veteran golfer remains competitive at an age when many players have stepped back from full-time competition.

Scott’s position heading into the final rounds demonstrates that consistency and course management remain valuable assets, even as the tour’s younger players dominate much of the landscape. With the lead within reach, Scott will look to capitalize on the momentum generated by Friday’s strong play.
