DOHA, Qatar (AP) — Adam Scott shot an 11-under 61 Sunday to win the Qatar Masters by three strokes over Henrik Stenson.
The Australian had 11 birdies, including five in a row to start, at the Doha Golf Club to finish at 20-under 268 and win his 14th title. Scott, the 2002 Qatar Masters champion, is the first repeat winner of the tournament.
"I came out of the gate firing and that got me going," Scott said. "I was able to keep pressure on the guys leading before play started today so that helped."
Stenson, who won the event in 2006, shot a 65 with seven birdies to take second at 271.
"Henrik did everything he could, shooting a card of 65, but I guess the guy who finishes the round first, and with a lot of birdies like I did, will always put pressure on the other players," Scott said.
Charl Schwartzel (67) was third, five strokes behind Scott, and Johan Edfors (70) was fourth, another stroke behind. Lee Westwood (65) was next, followed by Colin Montgomerie (69).
Sergio Garcia (67) tied for seventh with six others.
