In a thrilling finish at the Porsche Singapore Classic, England's Richard Mansell captured his maiden DP World Tour title with a composed final-round performance. The 29-year-old Midlands native fired a bogey-free 66 (-6) to edge Japan's Keita Nakajima by a single stroke at Laguna National Golf Resort Club.

Tournament Highlights

  • 54-hole event following Thursday's weather cancellation
  • Mansell's five consecutive birdies (holes 4-8) proved decisive
  • Dramatic 100-foot two-putt birdie at the 18th sealed victory
  • Final leaderboard: Mansell (-16), Nakajima (-15), McKibbin/Saddier (-14)

The Winning Moment

"This means absolutely everything," an emotional Mansell told reporters. "After several near-misses, to finally break through shows the mental work I've put in with my team. My wife Ellie has been my rock through the tough times."

Key Performances

  1. Keita Nakajima (Japan): 65 (-7) with six birdies
  2. Tom McKibbin (N.Ireland): Strong 68 in first DP Tour start since LIV move
  3. Adrien Saddier (France): Shared third with McKibbin at 14-under

Mansell's Journey

  • Turned pro: 2016
  • DP World Tour debut: 2021
  • Previous best: T2 at 2022 Dutch Open
  • Climbs to career-high world ranking following victory

"I learned from past mistakes," Mansell reflected. "Instead of blaming others when things went wrong, I focused on controlling what I could. Today proves that mentality works."

The win earns Mansell €425,000 and valuable Race to Dubai points as the DP World Tour continues its Asian Swing next week at the Jeddah Invitational.
