Adam Scott chips the ball from the rough on the first hole during the first round of the Australian Open at the Royal Sydney Golf Club on Thursday.

SYDNEY (Reuters) - Adam Scott shot a course record 10-under-par 62 in the first round of the Australian Open at Royal Sydney on Thursday but the world number two was left ruing a mid-round dip that prevented him from posting an even lower score.

Scott has been on fire on a valedictory tour of his homeland over the last few weeks, winning both the Australian PGA and Masters, and helping his country to hoist the World Cup of Golf in Melbourne last weekend.
