Scott gets back on winning trail in Texas

AUSTRALIAN Adam Scott, left, ended a two-year title drought by shooting rounds of 66 and 67 on Sunday to win the rain-hit Texas Open at TPC San Antonio.

Scott, who was one-under-par for the tournament after his first three holes of the day, in which 36 holes were played, won his first PGA title since the 2008 Byron Nelson Championship with a 14-under total of 274 for a one-shot victory over Sweden’s Fredrik Jacobson.

Scott revealed a recent putting tip from American veteran Dave Stockton helped him overcome his struggles. “I got in the rhythm out there and they all started going in,” he said. “It felt really good. I’ve been really good with the putter the last two weeks. It’s nice to see putts going in. It makes golf a lot more fun.”
