By Ian Ransom MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Former world number one Adam Scott has dented Australia's hopes of a medal when golf returns to the Olympics at Rio next year, saying he is unlikely to make room for it in his schedule. Scott, Australia's second highest-ranked player after world number two Jason Day, would be an automatic qualifier for the tournament if he can maintain his current ranking in the top 15 by June, 2016. "That's nothing to take away from the Olympics but I'm just not sure that they have got it quite dialed in for the format and might have missed an opportunity there to do something pretty special for golf."
