Rory McIlroy and Adam Scott Show Mutual Admiration for Each Other With Heartening Statements

It is said that Golf coaches take inspiration from Adam Scott’s swing to teach their students. On the other hand, Rory McIlroy has also one of the best swings in the world. However, what do they think about each other?

A new Twitter post from CBS Sport’s Kyle Porter revealed what the golfers think about each other’s swings.

The post contained screenshots from interviews with both Adam and Rory, where they praised each other. “He’s a guy I can watch play and get positive swing thoughts for myself,” said Scott in an interview about the Irishman. “I love watching him swing a golf club. I think almost everyone in the world would say that.”

The Australian golfer is widely known for his smooth swing. According to David Leadbetter, a Golf Digest Teaching Professional, Scott has the most desirable swings among the PGA Tour players. “When his body finishes, his club finishes,” he said. 

Rory, too, thinks similarly of Adam. “Yeah, anyone could watch Adam Scott swing all day long,” said McIlroy. “He’s got a nice rhythm.”
