MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) -- Former British Open winner Ian Baker-Finch says the Olympic golf course in Rio de Janeiro has ''come up nicely ... grown in well'' and that parts of the layout remind him of Royal Melbourne.
Baker-Finch, who will captain the Australian team in golf's return to the Olympics, also said that despite earlier reports that Adam Scott wasn't interested in playing, he expects the winner of the past two PGA Tour events to represent his country in August.
Baker-Finch tells a Melbourne radio station Thursday, ''I know there's been a lot of talk about Adam, the way he started off this year, but he says, 'Finchy, I play in the green and gold every week, you know that' .
