Scott a Favourite at 'Green' Singapore Open

Spectators at the Barclays Singapore Open were in high spirits during the third round that saw Australia’s Adam Scott retain his lead, one stroke ahead of defending champion Ian Poulter of England and Korea’s Kang Kyung-nam.

"I’m following Adam Scott, I’d like him to win!" said a Singapore golf fan."

Attending the golf tournament for the third straight year, he was happy to have the opportunity to see the world’s leading players on a yearly basis.

Another spectator was just as ecstatic to be at the event and was hoping for an Asian golfer to lift the Barclays Singapore Open trophy. "It’s a great day for golf! Hopefully, an Asian will win today. I see Mardan Mamat is playing well," he said.

The crowds were out in force and they witnessed a close battle between Scott, Poulter and Kang.

The addition of the Tanjong course was not the only welcome change the spectators noticed from last year’s tournament.

The already botanical Sentosa Golf Club was made a bit more "green" with the inclusion of the solar powered UPS Golf Eco Simulator.

"This golf simulator is powered by twenty solar panels and can generate up to 650 watts" said Malcolm Lacey from the UPS Eco Simulator.
