Magical Molinari Seeks Asian Double
SINGAPORE, November 8: Italy's Francesco Molinari, fired-up after the biggest win of his career in Shanghai at the weekend, will bid for an Asian double at the US$6 million Barclays Singapore Open from November 11-14.
Molinari held off world number one Lee Westwood of England by a stroke to record his first World Golf Championships title. It was an early birthday present for Molinari who celebrates his 28th birthday today.
Molinari featured in Europe's Ryder Cup victory over the United States in October and he will be re-united at Sentosa Golf Club with captain Colin Montgomerie and five members of the winning team.
Defending champion Ian Poulter, US Open winner Graeme McDowell, Martin Kaymer, who won the US PGA Championship in a playoff, three-time Major winner Padraig Harrington and Miguel Angel Jimenez are all playing the Barclays Singapore Open.
Masters champion Phil Mickelson, Asia's first Major winner Y.E. Yang of Korea and Australia's Adam Scott, back-to-back Singapore Open winner in 2005 and 2006, are also chasing the US$1 million first prize.
Open championship winner Louis Oosthuizen had intended to play but picked up an injury last week and had to regrettably withdraw.
Molinari combined his renowned long game with sparkling play on and around the greens to complete a wire-to-wire victory in the HSBC Champions. It was only his second win on the European Tour after his emotional triumph on home soil at the 2006 Italian Open but he has finished runner-up six times since that breakthrough victory.
"I'm obviously amazed with the way I played and, you know, to have the number one player in the world trailing you by one shot, it's not easy," he said. "It's definitely the best I've putted and chipped and I think that was the difference compared to the many second places I've had in the past.
"It was just the perfect week."
Montgomerie's game suffered as he devoted himself to the Ryder Cup and the eight-time European number one is looking for some high finishes to climb back up the rankings.
"I want to show everyone that I can still compete at the highest level because I know that I can," said Montgomerie, who came close to winning US$1.28 million in an exhibition event in China two weeks ago.
For the second year running the Barclays Singapore Open will be joint-sanctioned by the Asian Tour and The European Tour and for the first time a field of 204 players will compete on both The Serapong and The Tanjong Courses.
This year will be the 47th edition of the event. It was not played between 2002 and 2004, but returned to the Asian Tour schedule in 2005 thanks to the support of Sentosa and the efforts of the event promoter World Sport Group.
