ADAM SCOTT RACED into an early lead at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, shooting seven birdies and two eagles in a 10-under-par opening round at Bay Hill.
It’s only day one but three weeks before he defends his Masters title at the season’s first Major in Augusta, Scott looks to be playing some pretty solid golf.
This delicate bunker shot on the 12th left him with a four-footer which he rolled in for birdie.
He followed that up with this 26-foot putt for birdie on the 14th…
And then followed it up with a superb approach shot and an even longer putt on the 15th.
Scott continued the streak with this 36-footer for an eagle three on the par-five 16th.
Another brilliant approach shot saw him move to six-under on the third.
And after another eagle at four and a birdie at six, he rolled in this putt on seven to leave himself four shots clear of the field early on.
