The Swedish golfer won the Singapore Classic after three tiebreakers against Thai Kiradech Aphibarnrat.
The Swedish golfer Jesper Svensson was declared champion of the Singapore Classic, tournament corresponding to the DP World Tour, after winning the third playoff hole against the Thai Kiradech Aphibarnratafter they both finished the four days with 271 strokes, 17 under par at the Laguna National Golf Resort Club course where the event was held.
They were both the best in the last round. In the case of the Nordic player, he scored 63 hits as a result of two eagles, eight birdies and three bogeys, competing with the Chinese Haotong Li and the Irish Shane Lowry. For his part, the Asian sealed a 64 stroke that included a decisive eagle on the playoff-bound 18th hole, seven birdies and a bogey joined on his journey by Frenchman Matthieu Pavon and Englishman Jordan Smith .
The good feeling with which he finished his match and that ‘eagle’ on the par 5 at the closing flag left Aphibarnrat in a good position to face off for the title with Svensson. Both started a personal rivalry with birdies and continued it in two pairs. However, in the third, an unchanging approach from the Thai, who ended up leaving the green, left a rival on the right track who did not fail to finish it with a par. Behind them, Englishman Sam Bairstow finished with 272 strokes.
In this way Svensson, whose best result on the DP World Tour in 2024 was his second place in Bahrain tied with South African Zander Lombard; won his first circuit title since the 2023 B-NL Challenge Trophy held in the Netherlands.
