Scott wins Australian PGA title by 4 shots
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 11 - 11 - 2013

GOLD COAST, Australia — Masters champion Adam Scott defied a lengthy weather suspension midway through the final round of the Australian PGA Championship to win by four shots at Royal Pines Sunday.
Scott completed the sixth career Triple Crown in Australian golf after he recovered from a two-hour weather delay, making an eagle and two birdies to complete a final-round four-under-par 67 on the Gold Coast.
Scott's win, along with last year's Australian Masters crown and the 2009 Australian Open, means he joins Greg Norman, Peter Senior, Craig Parry, Robert Allenby and Peter Lonard as winners of all three domestic majors in their career.
The world No. 2, who became the first Australian to win the Augusta Masters earlier this year, beat young American Ricky Fowler (63-72-71-68) while Australian Jack Wilson was six shots away in third.
Sensational approach shots on the par-5 12th and par-5 15th were the highlights of Scott's final round as he stormed to the trophy.
Scott will chase further glory as he continues his homecoming tour at the Australian Masters at Royal Melbourne Thursday.
Lu wins Mizuno Classic
Taiwan's Teresa Lu won the Mizuno Classic Sunday, birdieing the last two holes and six of the final eight for an 8-under 64 and a two-stroke victory.
The 25-year-old Lu, a regular on the Japan LPGA Tour after giving up her LPGA Tour membership in 2010, finished at 14-under 202 at a wet and windy Kintetsu Kashikojima. She has three runner-up finishes and 13 top-10s this season on the JLPGA.
South Korea's Chella Choi, tied with Lu with two holes to play, had a 66 to finish second.
Japanese players took the next five spots. Mamiko Higa and Yuki Ichinose shot 70 to tie for third at 10-under, Yumiko Yoshida (68) and Shiho Oyama (71) followed at 9-under, and Asako Fujimoto (71) was 8-under.
Stacy Lewis tied for eighth at 7-under. The third-ranked American was the top-ranked player in the field.
Rahman wins 2nd
Asian Tour title
Bangladesh's Siddikur Rahman survived a nervy final round before winning his second Asian Tour title at the Indian Open Sunday.
The 28-year-old labored to a final round of three-over 75 for a tournament total of 14-under 274 at the Delhi Golf Club.
Indians Anirban Lahiri and S.S.P Chowrasia, who missed a five-foot birdie putt to force a playoff, finished one shot behind after carding 70 and 72 respectively. — Agencies
