He came up short himself but Adam Scott was chuffed about helping "old mate" Camilo Villegas snap a nine-year PGA Tour winning drought at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship.
Villegas carded a final-round six-under-par round 66 at Port Royal Golf Course to finish 24 under, two shots ahead of Sweden's Alex Noren (68).
Scott's Sunday charge never quite materialised but a fast-finishing 67 propelled Australia's former world No.1 to a tie for fifth, five shots adrift of the winner.
