Kelly Scott (born June 1, 1977 in Winnipeg, Manitoba as Kelly Lynn Mackenzie) is a Canadian curler from Kelowna, British Columbia.
Scott won the 1995 World Junior Curling Championships and Canadian Junior Curling Championships when she curled out of Manitoba. She was also runner up at the 1991 Canadian Junior Curling Championships when she played lead for Jill Staub. In 2005, Scott qualified for the 2005 Scott Tournament of Hearts, where she finished second in the round-robin. At the Olympic trials that year, Scott would lose in the final to Shannon Kleibrink.
In March 2006, Scott won the 2006 Scott Tournament of Hearts. After leading the round robin with an 9-2 record, she beat Colleen Jones in the semi-final and then beat defending champion Jennifer Jones in the final with a solid 8-6 win. The Scott team went on to the 2006 Ford World Women's Curling Championship in Grande Prairie, Alberta where her team won the bronze medal.
At the 2006 Players' Championships, Scott scored a rare "Eight-Ender" in one of her games against Cathy King. [1]
Scott defended her title at the 2007 Scotties Tournament of Hearts defeating Jan Betker's Saskatchewan team in the final. Later, she won the 2007 World Women's Curling Championship, defeating Denmark's team of Angelina Jensen 8-4 in final. Scott became the first female skip to win a gold medal at both a World Junior Championship and a World Championship.
Scott works at Nutri-Lawn, which is owned by her parents, as a Financial Officer. In the summer 2006 Kelly Scott quit her job with the city of Kelowna due to the heavy pressure of the competitive curling season. She is married to Chad Scott.
