Adam Scott has claimed his 11th PGA Tour win by finishing one shot clear of playing partner Sergio Garcia at the Honda Classic.

The former Masters champion and Spaniard Garcia, who also played together in the third round, both had nervy moments around PGA National today, but it was Scott who came through thanks to a level-par final round of 70.

 Scott ends a near-two-year wait for a win with victory, while Garcia misses out on a first PGA Tour success since August 2012.

The pair started their rounds four shots clear of their nearest challenger Blayne Barber and never really encountered any threat on the final day in Florida, with Scott finishing the tournament nine-under.

Barber and fellow American Justin Thomas tied for third on five-under.
