Scott carded a final round 67 for a 19-under-par total of 269 and a six-shot victory over Lancashire teenager Nick Dougherty and France's Jean-Francois Remesy.

The 21-year-old Australian collected the #175,000 first prize at Doha Golf Club to complete the ideal preparation for his first appearance in the US Masters at Augusta next month.

Six players shared fourth place eight shots adrift of Scott, including Wales' Mark Pilkington, Scot Stephen Gallacher and England's John Bickerton, but Colin Montgomerie stumbled to a closing 74 to finish 11 shots off the pace.
