AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) Adam Scott has gone to majors for more than a decade looking at Tiger Woods as the player to beat.
Now that Woods is out of the Masters for the first time in his career that ''player to beat'' could be just about anyone.
Scott is the defending champion and can go to No. 1 in the world this week. Las Vegas lists Scott and Rory McIlroy as the betting favorites, narrowly ahead of Phil Mickelson, Jason Day and Matt Kuchar.
McIlroy has never finished in the top 10 at the Masters, which is a little misleading. He had a four-shot lead entering the final round in 2011 and shot an 80. McIlroy looked at the tee times for Thursday and predicted that 70 players could win the green jacket.
