Matt Every claims dramatic first PGA victory
Matt Every clinched his first PGA Tour victory in dramatic fashion when he surged past a faltering Adam Scott to claim the $6.2 million Arnold Palmer Invitational by one stroke in Florida.
As he was speaking to reporters the victory was still sinking in:
You really don't think about this, you just think about, I finally won, because golf, it's totally different than any other sport, I mean you're used to losing out here, I mean you lose every week, pretty much, and sometimes you forget what it feels like to win and it was just, it's nice to have that feeling again."
Australian Scott, who had matched the course record on the first day with an impressive 10-under par round of 62- eventually finished third.
Every, started the final round four strokes behind him, but surged ahead with four birdies in a sizzling five-hole stretch around the turn.
With this he managed to just get the edge on fellow American Keegan Bradley who missed a 30-foot birdie putt that would have forced a play off.
Adam Scott finished two shots behind after shooting 76 on the last day. Nobody in the top 25 shot a worse final round. He was left ruing his inability to close the deal in his final start before defending his Masters title April 10-13.
He also struggled at the previous competition in Australia:
"Yeah I really think the putting has let me down on both of those occasions, I actually played quite nicely in Australia when I held the lead but today was a bit shaky but this course was asking a lot of everyone today I think, and my short game just wasn't there so that needs to be tightened up and probably shows that I need to do a bit more work on it to hold up under the most pressure."
With his poor performance on the last day the world number two missed his chance of taking the top spot from Tiger Woods who did not compete due to a back injury.
