Poulter pipped at the post by playing partner Scott

Adam Scott edged out playing partner Ian Poulter in a final day shootout to break a 15-month tournament drought and claim his first gold jacket at the Australian Masters in Melbourne.

Scott took on one of the fiercest competitors in world golf and beat him in a head-to-head battle at Kingston Heath, with the world number five overturning a one-shot deficit on the final day to win by four strokes at 17 under par.
