Re-born Scott ends PGA Tour title drought
FNQ GOLF RESULTS
ADAM Scott is back in a big way just months after confessing his mind wandered to whether he would win again against the world’s best during a three-year winless stretch.
The classy Aussie beat the game’s finest to win the Genesis Invitational in Los Angeles on yesterday morning (AEST) at the revered Riviera Country Club.
Scott’s fighting final round one-under-par 70 left him at 11-under and took him to the summit at a tournament where he beat the world’s top six players as well as Tiger Woods.
Scott (72-64-67-70) outduelled golf’s world No.1 Rory McIlroy, who tripped early in his round with a triple bogey and carded a 73 as his playing partner.
“It’s amazing. I love this place,” Scott said greenside after the two-stroke win.
“I’m stoked with this. This feels very, very special.”
The Aussie entered the event as world No.14 but will be on his way to nudging back into the top 10 with this victory.
Scott’s drought-breaking tournament win at the Australian PGA on the Gold Coast just before Christmas has been the springboard he predicted.
