“I don’t fight pressure like that” – 43-year-old Adam Scott hopeful about taking the win at the 2023 Butterfield Bermuda Championship

Adam Scott is all set to tee off at this week's Butterfield Bermuda Championship, which will start with the inaugural round on Thursday, November 9, and will run through the weekend to have its final on Sunday, November 12.

Scott last won an event in 2020 and will be looking forward to breaking his three-year winless streak at the PGA Tour event. He is the second-highest-ranked golfer (No. 45) playing this week and is among the favorites to win the trophy.

In a pre-tournament press conference, Scott opened up about his performance. He said as quoted by Golf Week:

“Many different times in my career I’ve come to events as the favorite, world No. 1 or in good form with expectations being high. That’s what I like, that’s the environment I want to be in.

"If it is the case this week that I feel like I’m the best player here, it might help me perform a little bit better. I don’t fight pressure like that, you can feed off that expectation a little bit.”

Having turned pro in 2000, Scott has won 31 tournaments in his career. He won 14 events on the PGA Tour, 11 on the European Tour, and four on the Asian Tour.
