Scott had rounds of 70, 71, 71 and 71 for a total nine-under 283 three points behind winner Jazz Janewattananond of Thailand. Scott’s young brother, Kieran, who has been playing in the Canadian Tour, also had a good outing after he finished tied on fifth place with rounds of 73, 75 64 and 74 to finish on six-under 286.

Thailand’s Janewattananond won the US$ 1.5 million purse tournament for the first time in nearly three years after a brilliant eagle, birdie finish at Royal Golf Dar Es Salam. The 2019 Asian Tour number one ranked closed with a fine six-underpar 67 to finish on 12-under and beat Canadian Richard T. Lee by one stroke.

Lee, who missed a 16-foot birdie putt on the last hole to force a play- off, shot a 70 while Spaniard David Puig fired a 73 to finish third, a stroke further back.

Jazz, playing in the third from last group having started the day four shots behind overnight leader Puig, burst through to victory thanks to a stunning five-under-par at back nine.
