Rory McIlroy pipped Adam Scott to victory in the Australian Open to claim his first tournament victory of 2013.
Scott was leading by one shot with just the 72nd hole to play, but a bogey combined with a birdie from McIlroy denied him the chance to win the Australian 'Triple Crown'.
McIlroy trailed by four shots going into the final round with the pair going head-to-head on the final day at Royal Sydney, the rest of the field needing a miracle to get into contention.
The former world No 1 made a big move on the seventh with an eagle and drew level with Scott when he birdied the eighth.
Scott edged ahead again but made a series of mistakes down the stretch, leaving McIlroy the chance to stay in touch.
