LOS ANGELES – Adam Scott is used to easing into the new year, but he got the competitive itch a little early this time when he turned on TV coverage of the Farmers Insurance Open.
Scott had finished second there last year. A strong field had gathered at Torrey Pines, headlined by Tiger Woods.
“And so I was feeling like, OK, I’m starting to miss being out there,” he said. “That was good to get those feelings, so I knew I would be definitely ready for here.”
Here is the Genesis Invitational at Riviera, where Scott has a sterling record, with a win (2015) and two runner-up finishes.
