Redemption for Scott at Augusta

Nine months after blowing a four-shot lead in the Open, Adam Scott tonight gained sweet redemption with a dramatic Masters triumph at a rain-soaked Augusta.

Scott, who bogeyed the last four holes at Royal Lytham and lost by one to Ernie Els, birdied the second hole of a sudden-death play-off after he and 2009 champion Angel Cabrera had finished tied on nine under par.
