Moving his potential closer to promise, Adam Scott had his best year in golf. He wound up third on the PGA TOUR money list, and can move as high as No. 3 in the world ranking over the next two months.Advertisement None of that would have mattered without a PGA TOUR victory.Scott took care of that missing piece Sunday in THE TOUR Championship presented by Coca-Cola by holding off every challenge that came his way, closing with a 4-under 66 to win the season finale by three shots over Jim Furyk."You can't be that (No.) 3 or 4 player in the world without winning tournaments," Scott said. "That shouldn't happen. I feel more comfortable in that position seeing I've won an event."

Adam Scott has always had the talent and potential. This year he has started to turn the talent into results. This win is just reward. He now needs to continue the form from this year into next year and who knows, maybe a major.
