PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. - Adam Scott won the Honda Classic and put to rest any notion that his career would suffer with a short putter.
In a tight duel with Sergio Garcia for the entire round Sunday at PGA National, Scott stayed out of the water and closed with an even-par 70 for a one-shot victory. It was his first title since Colonial in May 2014, and his first time winning with a conventional putter since the 2010 Singapore Open.
The timing of his victory also was a big statement for the 35-year-old Australian.
