Adam Scott's swing is considered by many fans and experts to be one of the best in professional golf. It's not just the aesthetics, but the effectiveness of his swing that has led him to win more than 30 professional events, including a Major championship.

In a recent interview with The Golfer's Journal podcast, Scott said that he has used several models throughout his career to perfect his swing. Scott revealed that one of his models is LPGA Hall of Famer Inbee Park, whose swing he uses as a model when he feels he has rhythm issues in his own.

This is what Scott said [25:53]:

"I've used Inbee Park a lot as a rhythm model, yeah, you know when I'm getting way too quick. I just go for this like super slow back swing and just let the club fall back down kind of like Inbee Park and it's a good way to, like, really slow it down."

Park has been playing golf professionally since 2006. Among her many accomplishments are 21 victories on the LPGA Tour, including seven Major championships. She won the Olympic gold medal in Rio de Janeiro in 2016. She is also known for her unconventional, extremely slow golf swing.

Adam Scott also mentioned other role models, including South Africa's Ernie Els:

"I have different kind of swing images of people in my head that I use for rhythm mostly. Ernie Els' is a big one and I always loved playing with Ernie because I could watch him play and feel his rhythm and it always had a nice, like, feeling for me. I was always at ease playing with Ernie."

Scott also stated that in the early stages of his career, he looked to Greg Norman and Tiger Woods for his golf swing.
