'King Louis Reigns in Perth while Adam Scott marginally beats Sergio Garcia'
The last week has seen some exciting golf being played on the build up to the Masters in a few weeks.
Louis Oosthuizen eased to victory at the ISPS HANDA Perth International to claim an eighth European Tour title at Lake Karrinyup Country Club. The World Number 21 came into the final day with a three-shot lead and, while he was briefly caught on the front nine, the South African cruised to a closing 71 to finish on 16 under, one shot ahead of Frenchman Alexander Levy.
"It's been two years since I had a win so this is massive for me going into the season - Louis Oosthuizen" "This is a great start building up towards Augusta. I'll take a lot out of this week and things that we've done."
Scott Claims the Honda Classic
Adam Scott "It was nice to hit some good quality shots coming in. Luckily for me, it was enough" Tied for the lead at -9 at the start of the final round, Scott drilled a 15-foot birdie putt on the first hole to go up by one. The putt provided a boost of confidence and a sense of calm. He would need it.
Over the next four hours Scott would make three bogeys and just one birdie. Fortunately for the Aussie, he and Garcia had separated themselves from the rest of the field, and Garcia was making more mistakes than Scott. By the time the two got to 18, Scott had a two-shot lead. Garcia made birdie, Scott tapped in for par from 2 feet and the drought was over.
"That was certainly a sense of relief to win again, after being a year-and-a-half I guess without a win," he said, adding that he was desperate for a win. "I think it's just getting tougher and tougher to win out here."
