Adam Scott – 2011 WGC – Bridgestone Invitational champion.
* Qualified via 2010 Barclays Singapore Open victory.
* Scott joins Phil Mickelson, Tiger Woods and Henrik Stenson as the only four players to win THE PLAYERS Championship and a World Golf Championships event in their careers.
* Scott now has the fourth most wins by an Australian on TOUR: Greg Norman (20), Steve Elkington (10), Stuart Appleby (10) and Adam Scott (8).
* Scott moves to No. 15 in the FedExCup standings, almost guaranteeing a spot in the season-ending TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola. He won at East Lake in 2006, the year before the FedExCup began, but has only qualified for the PGA TOUR Playoffs finale twice in the past four years.
* The third-round leader/co-leader has now won eight of 13 times at the World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational. Scott is the first third-round leader to go on to victory since 2008 when Vijay Singh won after finishing 54 holes tied with Phil Mickelson and Lee Westwood.
* Scott held at least a share of the lead after each round of the Bridgestone Invitational.
* Scott’s only lead in a World Golf Championships event coming into this week was after the first round of the Bridgestone Invitational in 2006 (finished T10).
* Scott, who has eight PGA TOUR wins, had never led or shared the lead in all three rounds of a PGA TOUR event and gone on to win.
* Scott has now won six of eight events when holding the 54-hole lead/co-lead.
* This is Scott’s ninth time playing the Bridgestone Invitational. In his eight previous starts at Firestone Country Club, the Australian has only finished under par twice (2006 -5, 2010 -5).
* This is the fourth event that Steve Williams has caddied for Adam Scott. Williams was on the bag for Tiger Woods for all of his seven victories at the Bridgestone Invitational.
* Scott’s opening round 62 is the lowest start by a winner at the Bridgestone Invitational. Stewart Cink had the record with a 63 in 2004.
* Scott locks up his fifth appearance on the International Presidents Cup Team in November in his home country of Australia.
* Scott will not need one of Greg Norman’s captain’s picks, as he had to rely on for the 2009 event when he finished ranked No. 14 in the standings.
* Scott is the third Australian to win a World Golf Championships event, joining Geoff Ogilvy (2006 and 2009 Accenture Match Play Championship) and Craig Parry (2002 Bridgestone Invitational).
* Since 1983, Australia has the second-most wins on the PGA TOUR behind the United States, (1,014 and 76 wins, respectively). South Africa is third with 49 wins.
* Scott joins Aaron Baddeley (Northern Trust Open) as the only two Australian winners on TOUR this season. Last year there were four Australian winners on TOUR (Adam Scott, Geoff Ogilvy, Jason Day and Stuart Appleby).
* Australia has claimed at least two wins on TOUR every season since 2002 when Craig Parry won the Bridgestone Invitational. Parry was the only Australian to win on TOUR that season.
* Adam Scott moved back into the top 10 in the Official World Golf Ranking for the first time since the week after the 2008 Bridgestone Invitational.
* Scott is the 20th different player to win a World Golf Championships event, and on the occasion of the 40th WGC tournament.
