Poulter ends baron spell in Singapore 02/11/2009

IAN Poulter wrapped up his first victory since the 2007 Dunlop Phoenix Open in Japan with a one-shot victory over China’s Liang-Wen-chong at the Barclays Singapore Open.

Poulter opened with a 5-under-par 66 to take a share of the lead then extended it with a second round 64. He then closed out the victory at a rain-soaked Sentosa Golf Club with back-to-back 1-over 72s for a 10-under par total and a one-stroke victory.

“Getting off to the start I did, getting out of the blocks pretty quick, surprised me a little as I was mis-hitting some shots and I made it a little interesting on a string of holes yesterday,” Poulter said, referring to his opening rounds. “Coming out today I made some mistakes as well on the front nine and back nine to make it too close for comfort. But to stand on the last knowing I had to make five, I was pretty happy.”
