Richard Mansell has won his first DP World Tour title at the reduced Porsche Singapore Classic after signing for a 7-under 66 featuring five consecutive birdies from the 4th as well as a bogey and two birdies on the back nine to reach 16-under.

“What a feeling. Just to get into that position, and I played so well today,” said the Englishman.

“First week with a new caddie so that was a good start and he just, a couple of times got me to slow down. And it makes those near-misses and when I’ve got ahead of myself in the past just kind of worth it and it just means that much more.

“In 2022 I had quite a few close calls and didn’t get it done. Looking back on it I probably should’ve kept doing what I was doing and it probably would’ve happened a lot sooner. But I went searching, I tried to change and I became quite good at pointing the finger, blaming other people why it hadn’t happened. And I started just not enjoying it as much and I just got a little bit lost from where I’d actually come from.

“It’s taken a lot of work these past six months. Ellie, my wife, has been so supportive. I’ve just had to really, really stay patient and forget everyone else and that was my main thing today, to focus on myself.

“Luckily I had an opportunity on the last hole to hole a putt for the win and I managed to do it.

Japan’s Keito Nakajima carded a bogey-free 65 to finish second at 15-under.

France’s Adrien Saddier and Northern Ireland’s Tom McKibbin tied for third at 14-under after both carded 68s.
