GOLD COAST, Queensland -- Adam Scott says that while he will be concentrating on winning a second Australian PGA Championship, he will have one eye on Tiger Woods return.Woods is competing at the 18-man Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas this week, his first competitive action for 16 months -- and Scott admits he is excited to see the 14-time major champion back.Hopefully hes on the road to coming back to playing some really good golf, Scott said. Its good for everyone if he does and it will be good to see him playing back at the top level again.Ill put the TV on to watch that one, for sure.Talking about his own chances at Royal Pines, Scott, winner of the event in 2013 and runner-up after a playoff the following year, says he has had difficulty in posting a decent opening round at his last couple of events.He shot 76 at the Japan Open last month, resulting in him missing the cut, and that was followed by a 70 at the CIMB Classic and a 73 at the Australian Open in Sydney a fortnight ago.Scott is in the second group out in his home territory of the Gold Coast and wants to make an early impact.Sometimes youve got to take the mindset like Thursday is Sunday and thats it, the 36-year-old told reporters. Theres only one round to try and shoot the lowest round of the day.Win the day or whatever game you want to play in your head, sometimes youve got to do that when you want to make a point of getting off to a good start or change the way youve been starting.I think Ive started fairly cautiously, certainly in Sydney anyway. I dont think it cost me the tournament, but I was on the back foot right from the start. Id like to jump out of the gates and be right in the mix from day one and then I think Ive got a leg up on the tournament.Scott will have to hold off the challenge of World Cup of Golf teammate Marc Leishman, as well as defending champion Nathan Holman and Englishman Ian Poulter, who admitted he is finding it mentally hard to get back into the nature of competitive golf.PA Sport contributed to this article.

Jon Merrill Jersey .Y. -- Sabres forward Drew Stafford has witnessed plenty of turmoil during his eight seasons in Buffalo. (STATS) -- With its regular-season finale on Thursday night, Libertys players can watch the final full weekend of FCS action unfold from the comforts of their dorm rooms knowing theyll at least share the Big South championship regardless of their own result.Thats about all they know.Liberty (6-4, 4-1) lost control of its own playoff fate Saturday, but that doesnt mean its game at No. 16 Coastal Carolina is without meaning. Far from it, in fact, in the first game of what should be a wild weekend in the Big South.Charleston Southern (6-3, 5-1), ranked 14th, revived its hopes of back-to-back conference crowns by blasting the Flames 48-26 in Lynchburg last weekend, leaving those two teams and Kennesaw State with one league loss apiece. But in Libertys case that was its final conference game, so while theres the guarantee of a share of the Big South title, the automatic playoff bid that goes to the winner is still very much up in the air.The Buccaneers will grab it with a victory Saturday against the Owls (8-2, 3-1), but if they come up short their at-large aspirations will disappear thanks to a schedule thats only produced five wins over Division I opponents. Should Kennesaw State pull the upset, that automatic bid will go to Liberty.I really hate depending on other people and thats the kind of situation were in right now, Flames cornerback Chris Turner said. Weve just got to depend on somebody else to put us in the playoffs when we had the opportunity to do it ourselves.While Charleston Southern needs the auto bid, theres hope for Liberty and Kennesaw State to get in come Sunday morning even without it. For the Owls, beating Charleston Southern would give Brian Bohannons program a signature victory in its second year of building from the ground up.Its important to understand where we are, first of all, Bohannon said. If were fortunate enough to go beat a really good football team on Saturday, youll have a football team that is 9-2.Theres no question in my mind, if we take care of business, youre talking about maybe one of the hottest teams in the country. I dont think there is a team that would be more deserving to go play in the playoffs than Kennesaw State.The Flames played a difficult schedule, falling at Virginia Tech in September before hanging with SMU well into the fourth quarter. They also played Jacksonville State and won aat Kennesaw, though the 22-point loss to the Bucs will certainly be fresh in voters minds.ddddddddddddEnter Coastal Carolina, which is likely the last team Liberty wants to see as a potential spoiler.The Chanticleers won parts of three straight Big South titles from 2012-14 but are now transitioning to the FBS, so they wont take part in the FCS playoffs despite having a resume that would probably put them there otherwise. Theyd love to bid farewell to the subdivision by playing even a small part in the demise of Liberty, which is the only current Big South program that Coastal Carolina is under .500 against (6-7).Chanticleers coach Joe Moglia has made no secret of his animosity toward the Flames, who in his mind havent conducted themselves well before, during or after beating Coastal in each of the past two seasons.One of the things that a lot of people are not crazy about is their players ... spend a lot of time mouthing off at you, Moglia said. Theyre doing that at the beginning of the game, theyre doing it at halftime, theyre doing it during the game, theyre doing it during warmups. I dont find that particularly classy, so I wont miss that part.The man whos helmed those 2014 and 15 losses wont be standing on the sideline across from Moglia. Liberty coach Turner Gill is serving a one-game suspension for a self-reported program violation earlier this season, leaving defensive coordinator and safeties coach Robert Wimberly in charge.Hes well organized, he understands the university, understands the way we go about doing things, understands how I coach and how we lead the team, Gill said, so I thought he was the best person to give us the best chance to win this football game and lead our football team.To review: Charleston Southerns in with a win Saturday. A loss and its out, ceding the Big Souths automatic bid to Liberty. Even if the Bucs win, the Flames could get in with an impressive win over Coastal. Kennesaw State needs to beat Charleston Southern and hope the committee likes the Owls overnight success story. The Chanticleers are driving into town hoping to create chaos for their old pals before riding off to the big city.Got it?Come Sunday, the Big South is hoping two teams can say they do, too. ' ' '
