Halfway Leader Adam Scott Riding Momentum at Doral

(Reuters) - Five days after clinching his 12th PGA Tour victory, red-hot Adam Scott charged into the second-round lead at the WGC-Cadillac Championship in Miami on Friday.

The Australian, who won the Honda Classic last Sunday, birdied three of his final four holes at the difficult Blue Monster course at Trump National Doral Resort to complete a six-under-par 66 for a 36-hole total of 10-under 134.

Scott is two shots in front of fellow long-hitters Rory McIlroy and Dustin Johnson.

“There is momentum and it’s a huge factor,” Scott told Golf Channel. “The trick is to figure out how to use it, how to maintain it and keep it going from week to week.
