Overview

  • Richard Mansell won the Porsche Singapore Classic by one stroke, marking his first DP World Tour title after 104 attempts.
  • The tournament was reduced to 54 holes due to a three-day monsoon surge in Singapore, altering its structure and schedule.
  • Mansell's six-under-par 66 in the final round brought his overall score to 16 under, narrowly defeating Japan's Keita Nakajima.
  • Nakajima delivered a bogey-free final round of 65, finishing in second place, while Adrien Saddier and Tom McKibbin tied for third, two strokes behind Mansell.
  • Mansell's victory, which earned him nearly 400,000 euros in prize money, was celebrated as a testament to perseverance and overcoming self-doubt.
