Scott matches record in second tour win

ADAM Scott captured his second PGA Tour win of the season after equalling the tournament scoring record in a four-shot victory at the Booz Allen Classic in Potomac, Maryland.

The 23-year-old Australian closed with a three-under-par 68 to finish with a 72-hole total of 21-under-par 263. He matched the tournament record set by Billy Andrade and Jeff Sluman at the 1991 Kemper Open.

Charles Howell III made a late charge but settled for second place at 17 under on 267 after a closing round of 65.
