From the papers
Adam Scott interview, 2008-04-27 (ASAP Sports)
27 April 2008
I kind of got away with it, I think, today. A bit lucky, and certainly the putt on the third playoff hole was pretty lucky to go in.

I had Tony looking at every other putt for me in the playoff, and I didn't have him look at that one.

I just went head-to-head against one of the best players in the world, and he had to make a 45-footer to beat me. That's a good place to be.
