Scott, who has won the home tournament in 2009, started the
season well with consecutive wins at the Honda Classic in
Florida in February and WGC-Mexico Championship in March.
"Those guys (McIlroy and Spieth) went on and had unbelievable
years right after winning. So you've got to take something from
that, it's probably not just coincidence," Scott said.
"It would set me up for a good year next year. It would lift me
up a little bit... being on such a high early in the year this
year, it kind of flattened out a little bit."
Scott, who is yet to win a second Major since the Masters in
2013, said after a great start this season, his expectations had
gone up but things did not go according to plan.
"I racked up a lot of top 5s and 10s and stuff like that, but
was a bit lean on the wins. It would have been great to keep the
momentum rolling... maybe contend a little better in the
majors."
"I think my short game let me down a little bit this year.
Certainly that was the general feel for my game," the
36-year-old said.
Scott said he will keenly track former world number one Spieth's
game at the Royal Sydney.
"We're on opposite sides of the draw but like everybody else
I'll be interested to see what he shoots the first two days and
be looking at whether he's leading or behind. He's a threat if
he's in the event," he added.
