Second Qatar crown for Scott

Australian Adam Scott claimed his second Qatar Masters title with a three-stroke victory over Swede Henrik Stenson after he produced an 11-under-par course record 61 in the final round.

Stenson finished with a bogey-free 65 to claim his second successive second-place finish at Doha Golf Club but was unable to chase down Scott.

The 2002 winner had stormed up the third-round leaderboard with a seven-under-par 65 on Saturday which had left him three strokes adrift of overnight leader Johan Edfors at the start of play.

Scott is the current world number eight, but will move up three places on Monday after he collected his sixth European Tour title with current incumbent Ernie Els having not played this week.

South Africa's Charl Schwartzel (67) finished 15-under, with Edfors a further stroke back and a shot clear of Order of Merit leader Lee Westwood.

Westwood claimed his 10th top-10 finish in 11 events after carding a final round seven-under-par 65, which included a 10-foot birdie putt at the last, but he was left to rue a third-round 73.

Colin Montgomerie claimed a sixth-place finish with a final round three-under-par 69 to finish at 11 under overall, with Nick Dougherty (69), Sergio Garcia (67) and David Howell (69) a further shot back.

Andrew Coltart (74) missed a 15-foot putt at the last which would have earned the Scot, who lost his Tour Card last November, a place in next week's Dubai Desert Classic.
