Masters champion Adam Scott will attempt a feat previously only achieved by his friend Greg Norman after agreeing terms to defend his Australian Masters title in November.

Six-time champion Norman remains the only player to have successfully defended the Masters gold jacket in its 34-year history.

Unlike his childhood idol Norman, world No.3 Scott will be able to bring the Masters green jacket he won at Augusta National in April when he returns for the November 14-17 tournament to be played at Royal Melbourne for the first time.

“I’m excited to be returning to Melbourne to defend my Australian Masters title at Royal Melbourne, one of my favourite courses,” said Scott in a statement issued by Australian Masters owner and promoter IMG.

“I’ve always had fantastic support in Melbourne, and I’m sure this year’s event will be bigger and better than ever.”

Scott battled English star Ian Poulter over the final 36 holes to win the tournament last year.

The Australian Masters is supported by the Victorian Government and children aged under 16 will again be admitted free when accompanied by an adult ticket holder.
