Something bright near the lunar south pole

On 8 April around 21:00 I noticed a very bright feature near the lunar south pole. It seemed as twice as bright as the surroundings, shining like a star. I suppose it was a mountain range catching the sun. It stood out like Aristarchus often does.

Does this feature have a name?

Is the object the one which is prominent on the section shown below? (2044 UT Apr 9th) If so I think it's the west (IAU) wall of the crater Scott - but the Virtual Moon Atlas image I'm working from for identification is not great for objects right on the limb.
