"In the end, I think (the statement) was to myself, I could actually win it when things weren't going my way," Scott said. "But it wasn't quite the statement I had in mind. I would have liked to have gone out there and have played like Ryan played and won by a few."
Scott pushed his first tee shot of the day way right into trampled grass, but salvaged a bogey after a nice approach short of the green. He was then steady until hitting his tee shot fat and into the water at the 174-yard fifth hole. That double bogey shrunk his lead over Moore from three shots to one.
After Scott and Moore both birdied the par-5 seventh, Moore got even at 6 under with a 6-foot birdie putt on the 461-yard eighth.
Moore went ahead with a 7-foot birdie at the 10th hole, and maintained that lead until consecutive bogeys. His tee shot at the 180-yard 13th went into a greenside bunker and he couldn't make the 10-foot par putt, then his approach at No. 14 went into another bunker behind the green that put Scott up by one.
But Scott, who had a 7-foot birdie attempt at No. 11 stop one roll short of dropping into the cup, hit his first two shots at No. 15 into the rough and wound up with bogey.
"I will probably take away more from gutting it out than winning by five," Scott said. "It would have been a tough defeat."
Notes: It was the 16th playoff at the Nelson since 1968, more than any other tournament. The last was in 2004. ... Tim Herron had a bogey-free round and was in position for his first top-10 finish in 11 tournaments this season. Then he had consecutive double bogeys after his last two tee shots went into the water.
