SYDNEY -- As he approaches another Australian Open at Royal Sydney, Adam Scott isnt thinking about the lead he held for 71 holes.Its just the one hole that haunts him.After opening with a course-record 10-under-par 62 in 2013, Scott led the Australian Open until a bogey at the last hole which allowed Rory McIlroy to finish over the top and claim the Stonehaven Cup.I certainly feel like Id like to get a win here at Royal Sydney after what happened a few years ago, Scott said Wednesday, on the eve of the 2016 tournament. That burns a little.Scott won the Australian Masters and the Australian PGA in 2013, the same year he won his only major at Augusta National, and was ever-so-close to winning the three biggest titles on the Australasian tour and matching the feat only ever previously achieved by Robert Allenby in 2005.He hasnt added to his majors since, but doesnt believe hes far off despite a 2016 that petered out after a strong start.After having a great start to the year and winning two events in a row, and having a couple of second-place finishes before that, the expectations naturally go up for the year, Scott said. You think youre going to storm through and have a career year and a memorable year; but it didnt quite happen.The 36-year-old Australian admitted his 2016 season was a bit lean after the great start.I was a little disappointed with that, but my standard of golf is still high and I now just need to capitalize on that; hopefully here this week.Scott finished in a tie for second last year with Jordan Spieth, who is returning to the Australian Open for the third straight year after winning on his first try in 2014.Spieths two previous Opens were at The Australian course, and he has spent time this week familiarizing himself with Royal Sydney.Hes got a very mature head on his shoulders, so hell figure it out, Scott said. But just having played here a fair bit over the years, I feel very comfortable. I might have a little bit of an advantage in that sense.Spieth has identified his course-record round to win the 2014 Australian Open as part of a career turning point. He went on to win two majors and rise to No. 1 in the rankings.The American, now ranked 5th, is coming off a six-week break from competitive golf and is confident the rest while only help in his pursuit of another Australian title.Jhonattan Vegas is one of the other international stars in the field, which includes high-profile Australians Geoff Ogilvy, Aaron Baddeley and Allenby. Matt Jones is not defending the title he won in 2015. College Jerseys Cheap . "We have always prided ourselves on the way we play defence.

The Swede became the first golfer to win the PGA Tours FedEx Cup and European Tours Race to Dubai in the same season. "It is still taking a little time to sink in what Ive achieved this week as was the case when I won the FedEx Cup but then it just kept getting better and better as the days went on and I am sure this will be the same," he said.

WACO, Texas -- Baylor returns to the football field tonight, but the fallout from the schools mishandling of sexual assault allegations is far from over.Coach Art Briles, university president Kenneth Starr and other key Baylor leaders are gone, dismissed or having resigned after an investigation found the school ignored or failed to investigate several sexual assault claims. And much more change is expected as the university focuses on reforming its Title IX efforts and implementing 105 recommendations from Pepper Hamilton, the Philadelphia law firm hired last fall to investigate the schools handling of sexual assault complaints made by students.That investigation reported widespread failures in the schools Title IX process and raised concerns about the tone and culture within Baylors football program.And yet, as the Bears kick off the 2016 season Friday night against FCS foe Northwestern State, the football program looks a lot like it did before the disastrous offseason.Though interim coach Jim Grobe will be pacing the sideline, the offense and defense will still be run by Briles nine assistant coaches, two of whom are literally his family. His son, offensive coordinator Kendal Briles, and his son-in-law, running backs coach Jeff Lebby, remain on staff.Two other coaches have worked with Briles every day since he took over the program in 2008.Grobe, whose contract only runs through the end of this season, said he kept Briles assistants because they werent accused of any wrongdoing in the Pepper Hamilton report.If you look at what happened at Baylor, we lost our president, our athletics director, our football coach and some operations people, Grobe said. It was dealt with pretty harshly, I think, and why would they stop with the head coach if others did something wrong? Trust me, if I knew anybody else did anything wrong, they wouldnt be here.But now Briles image has been removed from McLane Stadium, where he transformed a Big 12 doormat into a national championship contender. His influence and connections, however, cannot be escaped.Just ask the new coach.Our coaches were very loyal for Art. Our players loved him, Grobe said. He did great things here. And so going forward, I will never diminish anything thats been done here in the past on the field.But its what happened off the field that haunts Baylor and raises so many questions about its future. And its lingering connections to Briles keep returning.Not long after his firing and contract settlement, Briles had a private luncheon for friends and family on July 13 at Torchys Tacos, a restaurant just a few blocks from Baylors campus. Current and former Baylor players attended, as did the assisstant coaches.ddddddddddddBriles was mingling and dining with his former staff and starting quarterback less than a month after his attorneys accused the school of making him the scapegoat for its scandal. Hes still a co-defendant, with Baylor, in a federal civil lawsuit filed by a former Baylor student. Briles might have been paid $15 million to $20 million to go away, but his ties to the school still linger.Grobe, who didnt attend the lunch, didnt object to the former coach meeting with players and coaches.But still the question lingers:Can Baylors culture change even if the key football leaders are mostly the same? The schools interim president, David Garland, seems to believe so, saying the coaches are honorable men who would benefit from education and support through a better Title IX program.When Grobe was hired, deputy athletic director Todd Patulski said: I really relied on our Board of Regents and the report they provided. Ultimately, the directive was to create stability within our coaches and keep them.Thats not what most observers will be watching when Baylors season kicks off, with an expectation that a talented roster will again roll up points and wins all fall.Alison Kiss, executive director of the Clery Center for Security on Campus, whose mission is to work with college communities to create safer campuses through advocacy, education and collaboration, said she believes restoring campus safety and repairing trust in the university begin with transparency, which includes releasing the full Pepper Hamilton report.If youre going to build the trust within your community and your students -- all of your students -- is to be transparent about it, Kiss said. Until thats released, theres going to be a lot of speculation. Theres value in doing that. Youre certainly airing out your dirty laundry, but if youre ever going to change, the one thing we hear from students across the country is they want transparency and fairness. If youre going to build that trust, theres got to be transparency.For Garland it is simpler. Its about the university understanding the priorities need to be changed, even at the expense of football success.I dont think theres any balance, Garland told the Waco Tribune in July. If you have sexual assaults, its unacceptable. I dont care if we go 0-12 -- we cannot have sexual assaults.Baylors season begins today, but these bigger questions remain: Do the school and football program understand the magnitude of the problem? And is the entire Baylor community committed to changing the culture?
