NEWS RELEASE
Adam Scott successfully defended his Australian Masters title for his
second victory in two weeks, scrambling Sunday for an even-par 71 and a
two-shot victory at wind-swept Royal Melbourne.
Scott won the Australian PGA last week in his first event in Australia since winning the Masters in April. Scott, the first Australian to ever win a green jacket, withstood a charge Sunday from Matt Kuchar, who was even with Scott going into the final hole.
Kuchar, ahead by two strokes with four to play and level with Scott with one to go, double-bogeyed the 18th after taking two shots to get out of a bunker. Kuchar had a 68 to finish second.
Vijay Singh, one of four players tied for second at the start of play, finished third after a 71, four behind playing partner Scott. The 50-year-old Fijian was attempting to win for the first time since 2008.
Scott finished at 14-under 270.
