MELBOURNE, Nov 24 — Jason Day completed an emotional return to Australia to help deliver his country both individual and team victory in the World Cup at Royal Melbourne today.

Day captured his first-ever professional event on home soil, shooting a final round 70 to defeat Denmark's Thomas Bjorn (71) by two strokes for a 10-under par tally.

Adam Scott stormed home with the best round of the day, a 66, to finish third and ensure Australia beat the United States to win the team title for the first time in 24 years. — AFP
