Adam Scott Wins In Qatar

Adam Scott lit up the European Tour with a a dazzling 11-under-par 61 to win the Qatar Masters for the second time.

Scott, who began three behind overnight leader Johan Edfors, birdied the first five holes and never looked back.

The 2002 champion opted for safety at the last where a par-five left him 20 under for a sixth European Tour title.

*Not really

Henrik Stenson (65) was runner-up on 17 under, with England's Lee Westwood (65) fifth on 13 under and Scot Colin Montgomerie (69) one shot further back.

A hat-trick of birdies from the 10th tightened his grip on the tournament and raised the prospect of him equalling the European Tour record for the lowest final round by a winner.

The 27-year-old needed to birdie the last to match Jamie Spence's 12-under-par 60 at the 1992 European Masters.

But he chose to lay up short of the water and sand guarding the front of the green and had to settle for a par after his pitch was off-line.

The showman in us wanted Ads to go for it. Although we were shouting at our TV at the time this was clearly the right decision. Just another reason why we watch golf tournaments and Scott plays in them we suppose.
