Intro:

Reaction from Adam Scott following his second round at the Open Championship in St. Andrews on Friday

SOUNDBITE: (English) Adam Scott, Seven-under-par (asked if he can use his experience in majors to win at St. Andrews):

"I'm excited about this opportunity this weekend. But you look at the weather forecast, and you don't know what's going to happen. It's going to be.... could be extremely challenging tomorrow. The holes we get to play.... could just be a grind. But I really enjoy it. The last few years at The Open has been some of my favourite golf. Getting into contention at this championship and having a chance, to lift the Claret Jug is what it's all about. This is a great position. I'm excited for my weekend."

(on missing out on the Open Championship title in 2012):

"That really did hurt, but I was so happy with the way I played generally that week that I could lift myself above anywhere I'd been before and the field for that week, that I just wanted another crack at it. So by the time the PGA (Championship) came around a month later or so, I was moving on and hoping to do the same kind of thing at the PGA, and it didn't quite happen, but then it did eight months later at the Masters. I probably carried that chip (on his shoulder) into the Masters and maybe it got a little bit smaller, but still, I feel like I've been really close to lifting this trophy, and I'm very motivated to do it this weekend now that I'm in this position, and I'd be very disappointed if I never did in my career when I got so close."
