Image
It was the performance of his life produced by Adam Scott to win The US Masters on Sunday. He finally exorcised the demons of last year's British Open to be the first Australian ever to wear the famous green jacket .  As he sank the winning putt on the 10th at Augusta , Scott banished the pain and heartache that had haunted him following his humiliating collapse at Royal Lytham in July. On that occasion, the 32-year-old looked set to win his first major until he somehow contrived to blow a four-shot lead with just four holes remaining. With the eyes of the sporting world upon him, Scott showed nerves of steel to hole his putt and finally end Australia 's Augusta curse. His character and determination came to the fore at a course where his country's most famous golfer suffered so mercilessly. Two years ago, Scott and Jason Day finished tied for second as Charl Schwartzel produced an astonishing final four holes to win the tournament. But this time, he

Malaysia Super League: Selangor 0 - PKNS 0 As Selangor marched on the Stadium Shah Alam as favourite, the PKNS team was so eager to pull a surprise over the state team.

Malaysia Super League: Felda 0 - JDT 0 The Super League encounter between Felda United and Johor Darul Takzim ended in a goalless draw at the Petaling Jaya Stadium . Moneybags Johor Darul Takzim (JDT) dubbed the dream team, are the hot favourites to claim top honours in the Super League this season. But the multi-million ringgit assembled side have been far from impressive. JDT have now drawn four times in eight matches. The result did not go down well with Singapore football legend Fandi Ahmad , who slammed the team for not getting their act right. Meanwhile, Felda were more dangerous inside Darul Takzim half, though poor finishing saw them unable to breach the net as well. Felda United coach K. Devan said his team should have won based on the chances that they had created. "My players played well according to our game plan. We were unlucky not to win the match," said Devan.
