DORAL, Fla. (AP) -- Adam Scott impressed many observers by playing a shot left-handed out of the bushes at Doral on the 17th hole of the second round. He isn't the only player to attempt a shot from the other side, but this was a full swing, and a beautiful one. Scott took the inverted club all the way back to parallel, and advanced it some 50 yards.

Apparently, he's quite good with a driver, too.

Swing coach Butch Harmon tells the story of Scott playing a practice round with Phil Mickelson at East Lake, asking to try Lefty's driver on the 14th. He striped it, leaving him only 20 or so yards behind Mickelson.

Harmon was out in the fairway, and kicked Scott's ball forward so that it was nearly 10 yards ahead of Mickelson.

Suffice to say, Mickelson was surprised that Scott put it past him.

Even better, Harmon waited about four months before he told Mickelson what had happened. No doubt, Lefty was relieved.

TRIVIA TIME: There have been seven winning streaks of at least three PGA TOUR events since 1997. Name the only player who has ended those streaks more than once. Answer below.

CANADIAN SKINS: Fred Couples and Greg Norman will square off long before the Presidents Cup next year. Both have agreed to play June 16-17 in the Telus World Skins Game, to be held at Predator Ridge Golf Resort in western Canada.

"They've always had tremendous fields for this event, and I'm looking forward to going up against the other players, including Greg," Couples said. The event will be held the Monday and Tuesday after the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines.

Couples has played the Canadian skins event eight times and earned $1.11 million, more than anyone. Norman won in 1997 by capturing 13 skins worth $275,000.

Other players are still to be announced, although defending champion John Daly will not be playing.

TRIVIA ANSWER: Phil Mickelson.

He ended Woods' six-tournament streak in 2000 at the Buick Invitational, and Duval's three-tournament streak at the Mercedes Championships in 1998 when it was played at La Costa.

The other players who won tournaments to end Woods' winning streaks were Duffy Waldorf ('00 Disney), Robert Damron ('01 Byron Nelson), Henrik Stenson ('07 Match Play) and Geoff Ogilvy at Doral.

Ryan Palmer ended Singh's streak in 2004 when he won at Disney.

STAT OF THE WEEK: Tiger Woods has nine consecutive top-five finishes on the PGA TOUR, the longest streak of his career.

FINAL WORD: "Some people walk away thinking, 'Geez, that course must be great because the pros can't make any birdies on it.' Other people walk away saying, 'Well, that course must be boring to play because the pros can't make any birdies on it.' Everyone seems to be pretty split on the idea whether hard is good." -- Geoff Ogilvy.
