MELBOURNE, Australia -- Adam Scott emerged victorious from a last-round fight
with Matt Kuchar on Sunday to successfully defend his Australian Masters title
and make it back-to-back victories on his four-event tour of his homeland.
Son Heung-Min Jersey . Scott began Sunday
with a comfortable lead, lost it on the back nine, then wrestled it back, with
his scrambling even-par 71 proving enough for a two-shot victory at a windy
Royal Melbourne. It followed his victory in last weeks Australian PGA to make a
perfect start to his first visit back home since his U.S. Masters title in
April. American Kuchar led by two strokes with three holes to play but
double-bogeyed the 18th after taking two shots to get out of a bunker and
finished second after a 68. Vijay Singh was third after a 71, four behind Scott.
The 50-year-old Fijian veteran was attempting to win his first tournament since
2008. Scott, who had a four-round total of 14-under 270, will now try to win the
so-called Australian Triple Crown with a victory at the Australian Open at Royal
Sydney in two weeks. Before that, he will partner Jason Day for Australia at the
World Cup next week, again at Royal Melbourne. Kuchar took the lead when Scott
made a double bogey on the 14th as he dealt with a plugged lie in a bunker,
while Kuchar in the preceding group made a birdie at the 15th. The situation was
reversed a whole later when Scott also birdied the 15th and the American bogeyed
the 16th. Scott had led by four strokes at the start of the round and by five
shots late on the front nine. His faltering on the back nine revived memories of
the 2012 British Open when he bogeyed the final four holes to lose by a shot,
but this time he came out on top. "I usually like looking at the leaderboard,
but it wasnt enjoyable today," Scott said of the numerous lead changes. "I made
a lot of errors, but I managed to hang on despite being a little shaky out
there." His day got off to an ominous start. His birdie putt from three feet
lipped out while Singh had a tap-in birdie to reduce the lead to three, but a
Singh bogey on the second restored the four-shot gap. While Scott and Singh
dueled in the final group, Kuchar, who will team with Kevin Streelman for the
United States at the World Cup, moved up the leaderboard. The American bogeyed
the first hole, but birdies on five of the next eight holes left him as Scotts
closest pursuer. He birdied the 11th and then the 15th to take the lead for the
first time in the tournament before his late collapse. "Its never fun, the 72nd
hole, but it can happen any time," Kuchar said. "I tried on the last hole to
stay aggressive and hit a good quality shot and I thought I had. "The thing
about Royal Melbourne is you can really pay the price for just being off if you
play aggressively. Its certainly a rough way to end it but thats kind of the
nature of the game." Jarrod Lyle, playing in his first tournament in 20 months
since his recovery from his second bout of leukemia, finished with an 8-over 79,
including bogeys on his final three holes. He didnt expect to make the cut. At
the 18th, the large gallery applauded, even playing partner Michael Long, as
Lyle walked gingerly around the green. "I played five days in a row, including
the pro-am, and the last nine holes I started to feel it," Lyle said. "I got
around, and its not the end I wanted. But its better than I thought it would be:
three good rounds and one shocker, thats golf."

. The visitors took a deserved lead in the 16th minute with midfielder Yohan
Cabaye curling the ball beyond Adrian from inside the penalty area.PARIS - Paris
Saint-Germain narrowly avoiding a second straight defeat in a scrappy 1-1 draw
at mid-table Guingamp in the French league, prompting criticism of sloppy
defending at set-pieces by coach Laurent Blanc on Saturday. Center half Alex
headed home from a corner in the 87th minute after striker Mustapha Yatabare did
the same three minutes earlier to give Guingamp the lead. PSG was outplayed by
Guingamp for much of the match, three days after losing 2-1 at home to
Montpellier in the French Cup. "Weve conceded two goals in three games from
set-pieces," Blanc said. "At the moment our opponents know that they can hurt us
on corners and free kicks. We always seem to have a player whos not really
concentrating and loses their player. The same thing happened against
Montpellier." Second-place Monaco can close the gap at the top to three points
if it beats Marseille at home on Sunday. Blanc called the pitch "detestable" in
the rainy conditions and said "it favoured one team (Guingamp) more than the
other." However, Blanc praised Guingamp coach Jocelyn Gourvennec. "With the
limited means he has, what Gourvennecs doing is incredible," Blanc said. With
PSG star striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic having a rare off day, Yatabare caught the
eye and rose impressively to head Guingamp in front from Rachid Aliouis corner
in the 84th. "Guingamp played with a lot of heart and caused us problems on the
break," PSG goalkeeper Salvatoire Sirigu said. "We knew they were very good on
set-pieces. We need to think about the mistakes we made." PSG was missing
captain Thiago Silva, who sat out the match with an ankle injury and was
replaced at centre half by Marquinhos, who was again out of sorts after a poor
match against Montpellier. After a scrappy opening to the match, Ibrrahimovic
tried his luck 40 metres out with an ambitious free kick that he blasted
straight into the Guingamp wall, and Alioui went on a surging run and hit a
powerful low shot just past the post.
Harry Winks Hotspur Jersey. PSG responded
quickly and Edinson Cavani came close to his 21st goal of the season when he
turned sharply and his goal-bound shot hit a defenders thigh. On halftime,
Alioui went close with a swerving free kick that Sirigu saved with his legs. "It
was very hard to read the trajectory of the ball," Sirigu said. The ball bounced
up and hit the crossbar, and it appeared that Guingamp should have got a penalty
when Marquinhos grabbed Yatabare around the neck and pulled him down as he was
about to pounce on the rebound. "I dont know if it was a penalty or not, theres
no point talking about it," Sirigu said. Alioui continued to cause problems
after the break, and his cross was headed just wide by Yatabare. Ibrahimovic
managed his first shot on target in the 53rd, but his low strike was comfortably
saved by Guy Ndy Assembe. PSG midfielder Javier Pastore, who had a disappointing
game, was taken off midway through the second half and replaced by winger Lucas.
But Guingamp continued to look the better side, forcing two corners in quick
succession. The match between Toulouse and Bastia was postponed because of the
local rivers rising water levels. Toulouses stadium is on an island and the
citys prefect has banned any access due to the threat from the Garonne River,
the French league said in a statement. No new date has been set. Also, it was:
Ajaccio 1, Sochaux 1; Montpellier 3, Nice 1; Nantes 0, Reims 0; and Valenciennes
1, Lorient 1. In Sundays other games, Bordeaux hosts Saint-Etienne and resurgent
Lyon faces Evian. Third-place Lille was held to 1-1 by struggling Rennes on
Friday.
