Golf Clubs Base / 11-02

 

Ian Poulter put the Singapore Open trophy into his pocket with a final-round 72 on Sunday. Liang Wenchong was behind him one shot.

 

''I made some mistakes today, making it a little too close for comfort,'' The 33-year-old Englishman, leading from the opening round, finished at 10-under 274 and said. ''But it turned out well in the end.''

 

Poulter earned $833,330 with this victory, which lifted him up to  10th in the rankings of the European Tour's Race to Dubai.

 

Poulter sputtered midway through his final round with four bogeys, but a birdie on the 13th, capped by a 30-foot putt, put him back on track.

 

''I was getting angry,'' said Poulter, who won his first European Tour event since 2006 and 10th overall. ''I felt I had to do something and I did, and it gave me a nice boost.''

 

Players finished the third round and completed the fourth Sunday as the skies cleared and allowed the first full day of golf after three days of rain delays.

 

Australian players Scott Hend (69) and Adam Scott (68) finished two shots back in a tie for third. Phil Mickelson (71) and Ernie Els (72) finished six shots back at 4-under.

 

The Singapore Open is co-sanctioned by the European and Asian tours.
