Adam Scott's Strange Practice Routine Unveiled amid US Open Run
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Saturday was moving day at the U.S. Open, and Adam Scott took full advantage. The 44-year-old Australian surged up the leaderboard, firing a 3-under 67 at Oakmont Country Club. Currently, he sits just one shot behind leader Sam Burns, heading into the weekend round. It was a vintage performance from Scott, who has somehow only one major championship to his name despite his immense talent. His round started with a bogey on the first hole, but he quickly rebounded, collecting four birdies, including a clutch stretch on 13, 14, and 17. His composed play has put him in the final pairing on Sunday, where he'll battle Burns, who is chasing his first major title.

Jason Day, currently sitting T21 at 5-over, spotted Scott's unusual practice routine and couldn't help but share it. "Okay, next time you see Adam on the range, watch him," Day told Dan Rapaport from Scratch. "He goes like this," Day said, imitating Scott's swing move, "and then he... Behind the back? Every single shot." Did you know Adam Scott had this practice habit? 🤔 He's T-2 heading into the final round of the U.S. Open. — Skratch (@Skratch) June 14, 2025 Rapaport, intrigued, asked if Scott had been doing this since childhood. "I don't know, I don't know... I asked him that one time and he's like he didn't even know he was doing it," Day replied. Scott's quirky swing habit isn't the first of its kind. Jim Furyk, known for his looping, unconventional swing, has built a career around his unique mechanics. Matthew Wolff, another player with an unorthodox takeaway, has also drawn attention for his distinctive motion. But no doubt, Adam Scott's swing was the coolest! If Scott wins at Oakmont, he'll set a new record for the longest gap between first and second major wins—12 years since his 2013 Masters victory, where he defeated Ángel Cabrera in a playoff.

Scott spoke about his determination to chase another major, calling his approach "old man's golf" but emphasizing his passion for competing at the highest level. "It would be super fulfilling," Scott said of a potential second major. "Everyone out here has got their journey, you know. Putting ourselves in these positions doesn't just happen by fluke. It's not easy to do it. I really haven't been in this kind of position for five or six years, or feeling like I'm that player. But that's what I'm always working towards. It's not that easy to figure it all out." Now, with one round to go, Scott has a chance to rewrite history. He'll tee off in the final pairing on Sunday, looking to add a U.S. Open trophy to his resume and prove that experience still matters in golf's toughest test.
