"Every day" - BMW Championship leader Adam Scott is constantly reminded of his age by fellow golfers 

Adam Scott is at the top of the leaderboard at the 2024 BMW Championship after the second round, which concluded on Friday, August 23. The tournament is taking place at the Castle Pines Golf Club in Castle Rock, Colorado.

After scoring a 4-under 68 in the first round, Scott carded a bogey-free 9-under 63 in the second round. He scored four birdies on the front nine and five on the back nine. He has an aggregate score of 13-under 131 after the first two rounds.

The 44-year-old was asked in the post-round press conference if feels "like the old guy" among the other players. He said:

"Yep. Most guys remind me every day."

Scott was further asked for his opinion on only a few players in their 40s winning a tournament in the 2024 season. He said (via ASAP Sports):

"I think it's hard to get a lot better in your 40s, and there are a lot of 20-year-olds getting better. I just think there are probably a lot of 40-plus guys dropping off the Tour. There are a lot of mid-20s coming on the Tour taking their place.

"Whether it's just life or whether it's physical at this age or mental, it's hard to keep pace with what the younger guys are doing, from hitting the ball at a speed that's competitive to practicing enough to having the motivation and the drive to do it. I think it's harder for the older guys," he added.

Brice Garnett and Jhonattan Vegas are two of the players in their 40s who won PGA TOUR events in 2024. Adam Scott, three shots in front of Keegan Bradley, will look to become another player to win in his 40s this year.

Scott will jump to fourth in the FedExCup standings by gaining 2000 points if he wins the BMW Championship. He'll tee off with Bradley on Saturday, August 24 at 1:35 PM EDT.
