2013 Masters: This year's tale of redemption.

When Adam Scott blew a four shot lead over the last four holes at the 2012 British Open I wondered if he would ever be able to redeem himself...to himself.

It was the kind of collapse that could have ruined the career of a player like Scott.

Now that Scott has exorcised whatever demons may have remained by his amazing win at The Masters it may be time to start to wonder about his potential to become the best player in the world. One major does not a number one player make, of course, still Scott's the perfect age to become a golfer in full to borrow from Tom Wolfe.

He's long and accurate driver whose short game and new-found fortitude could make him hard to beat. The folks at Nike would like us to imagine Rory McIlroy as his foil, but a slightly younger and just as fit Scott could be the genuine challenger to Woods and the other would-be Number Ones.
