Adam Scott hopes his discipline-focused preparation will ease stress at the Masters

Adam Scott has bored himself to tears with monotonous, but very important, targeted practice in the lead-up to what he expects to be one of the toughest Masters in recent times.

Scott expects officials at Augusta National will, weather permitting, set up a much tougher test for their showpiece major after Dustin Johnson produced a record-setting 20-under 268 total during the COVID-19 pandemic-postponed November Masters last year.

So the 2013 champion has put an extreme focus on discipline.
