Adam Scott wins EDS Byron Nelson Championship; Clarke earns Asian Open title

It was a thrilling finish to both the European and the PGA Tour events this Sunday. Adam Scott had to huff and puff towards the end just to make it to the playoff after being in a comfortable position going into the final round. But not only did he make it to the playoff, the manner in which he won the tournament was sensational. A 48 foot putt, which had to overcome two ridges in its path would not have been the kind of statement he was looking to make but it was a bold statement nonetheless. He had already expressed his intention of wanting to make a statement in this tournament but little did he know that it would have to come by way of a magical putt on the second playoff hole rather than an easy victory in regulation time.

In another corner of the world Darren Clarke’s win was equally special and definitely far more absorbing. After a couple of three putts all the people were talking about the fact that a three putt from a distance of 30 feet was no next to impossible looking at the way Darren Clarke was finishing his round. But no one gave him a chance to drain that putt and that is exactly what he did. As Dominic Boulet put it, “ it was a grandstand finish for Darren Clarke”.
