Golfer Adam Scott, Ana Ivanovic an item?

MELBOURNE - Aussie golfer Adam Scott has fuelled rumours of romance with tennis ace Ana Ivanovic after the two were spotted together in New York.

The couple has been captured touching, and Scott looks relaxed at having been caught in the act of holding hands, reports the Daily Telegraph.

However, Ivanovic gave the snapper a ferocious look, suggesting it is she who wants to maintain the “just friends” relationship status.

Scott and Ivanovic met at an ad shoot for Rolex last summer in the lead up to the Australian Open tennis tournament.

Scott was earlier linked to actress Kate Hudson. (ANI)
