"I don't know how that happened," Scott said. "It seems a long, long way from a couple years ago, or last July when I was trying to win a major." (AFP image)
Such was the frenzy that The Australian Broadcasting Corp. interrupted a local radio interview with Prime Minister Julia Gillard to give listeners regular updates on the playoff and the victory. (AFP image)
Scott also said that before confirmation of the win, he thought he had done enough. "(But) You never count your chickens. It was time to step up and see how much I wanted it." (AFP image)
