Scott surprised by 'cracking' caddie offers

Adam Scott has been contacted by about 100 caddies offering their services but the world No 2 is in no hurry to appoint a replacement for Steve Williams.

Scott's bag is probably the second most coveted behind world No 1 Rory McIlroy. The job became available when Williams, who previously worked for Tiger Woods, decided he wanted to cut back on the number of tournaments he caddied in, which did not fit with Scott's requirements.

Scott sounded surprised that some of the caddies wanting to work for him are employed by other successful players but that only speaks volumes for the coveted nature of the job working for the 34-year-old Australian.
