Richard Mansell wins first DP World Tour event in Singapore
SINGAPORE — Richard Mansell of England claimed his first DP World Tour title Sunday when he two-putted from about 100 feet for birdie on the 18th hole for a 6-under 66 and a one-shot victory in the Porsche Singapore Classic. Mansell, who started the final round one shot behind, ran off five straight birdies on the front nine to take the lead. His final birdie gave him the title over Keita Nakajima of Japan, who closed with a 65. The tournament was reduced to 54 holes because of rain that washed out play on Thursday. Tom McKibbin of Northern Ireland, who gave up a PGA Tour card this year to join LIV Golf, had a 68 and tied for third with Adrien Saddier of France, who also shot 68.

Mansell's Magic: Dubai-based pro seals maiden DP World Tour title in 103rd attempt
Richard Mansell's long-awaited moment arrived dramatically at the Porsche Singapore Classic, as the Dubai-based Englishman secured his maiden DP World Tour title with a thrilling finish at Laguna National Golf Resort Club. With the tournament shortened to 54 holes due to Thursday's washout, Mansell entered the final round just one shot off the lead at ten under par. What followed was a display of grit, composure, and a putting masterclass that propelled him to a one-shot victory over Japan's Keita Nakajima. However, Mansell had one final statement to make before securing the win. Standing over a monster putt of over 100 feet on the 18th green, he showed nerves of steel, rolling his effort close before sinking the decisive six-foot birdie putt to seal victory at 16 under par. 'What a Feeling' Mansell, who represented Great Britain & Ireland in the 2023 Hero Cup, was choked with emotions and said: 'What a feeling. Just to get into that position, and I played so well today. First week with a new caddie, so that was a good start. He got me to slow down a couple of times, and that really helped.' The 29-year-old has endured his fair share of close calls on Tour, including a string of near misses in 2022. 'Looking back, I probably should've just stuck with what I was doing. Instead, I went searching, tried to change, and ended up pointing fingers at why it wasn't happening,' he admitted. 'I lost a bit of love for the game, but these last six months, I've worked really hard, stayed patient, and tried to focus on myself.' Mansell paid tribute to his wife, Ellie, who has been his rock throughout the journey. 'She's been so supportive, and it means the world,' he said. 'I've just been on the phone with my mum and dad, and Ellie's parents too. So many people have believed in me, even when I stopped believing in myself. This is for them.' A Win to Build On Mansell, who now calls Dubai home, hopes this victory is just the beginning. 'To finally do it, to finally get that win… It's the most fulfilling feeling in the world. For anyone out there chasing this dream, stick with it. Moments like this make it all worth it,' he said. With this landmark triumph, Richard Mansell has firmly announced his arrival as a DP World Tour champion. And in a season filled with opportunities, this may just be the start of something big.

Patience pays off for Mansell with breakthrough Singapore win
Richard Mansell sank a crucial birdie putt at the final hole to win a first DP World Tour title at the weather-hit Porsche Singapore Classic by a single shot on Sunday. Needing to avoid a playoff with Japan's Keita Nakajima at Laguna National Golf Resort Club, the Englishman reached the green in two at the par-five 18th. He then rolled his eagle attempt to within six feet of the pin before holding his nerve to drain his winning putt to clinch his maiden DP World Tour title with a final-round six-under-par 66. "I wish this win had come earlier. I played so well today to get into that position and I've been waiting for this moment for a long time," said the 29-year-old. "So many people have supported and believed in me when I stopped doing it myself." Victory was particularly special as Mansell had come close to winning on multiple occasions on the tour, only to fall short and struggle with self-belief. "I had quite a few close calls and didn't get it done. Looking back, I probably should have kept doing what I was doing and it (a win) probably would have happened a lot sooner," he said. "I tried to change and became quite good at pointing the finger at other people. I was just not enjoying this much and I got a little lost. "It took a lot of work this past six months." Nakajima carded seven birdies for a bogey-free 65 to finish alone in second place. Northern Ireland's Tom McKibbin and France's Adrien Saddier ended the week tied for third. A three-day monsoon surge in Singapore forced the cancellation of the first round on Thursday, leading the tournament to be decided over 54 holes.
