Scott's bold move

You've got to love Adam Scott's willingness to roll the dice. He just tried to drive the green for a fourth consecutive day at the risk-reward 11th hole (a 323-yard, par-4) and finds himself in great position to make birdie. Perhaps better.

Scott's drive hit on the collar of the green, bounced within 10 feet of the flagstick and rolled off the back edge of the green. He's staring at a 29-foot chip for eagle. If he gets down in two strokes, as he should, he'll bag his third birdie in four trips to No. 11 this week.

As things stand, Scott (6-under) trails Ryan Moore (7-under) by one stroke. But he's in great shape to pick it up at No. 11.
