Spieth in the mix as Singapore Open spills
over into Monday
NEWS RELEASE FROM ASIAN TOUR
Sentosa, Singapore: World number one Jordan Spieth of the United States is ready to deny South Korea’s Younghan Song’s hopes of winning his first professional tour title at the SMBC Singapore Open which will now conclude on Monday due to inclement weather.
Spieth
was at 10-under and ready to putt for birdie on the closing 18 while
Song faced a tricky par putt from 10 feet on 16 before Mother Nature
once again
forced them together with 10 other players off the Serapong Course,
Sentosa Golf Club at 2.46pm (local time).
With
thunderstorms showing no signs of abating, play was eventually called
off at 6pm with round four scheduled to resume at 7.30am on Monday
morning.
Spieth
is hopeful of draining his testing birdie putt from five feet and apply
the pressure on Song, who at 12-under, would then have to save par on
16 and
hold on to his slender one-shot advantage for his remaining two holes.
“My
game really started to come together on the back nine. I was putting
some pressure on the leader. Assuming I make that putt on 18 that is
going to put
some pressure on him.
“It (Monday finish) is what it is. I will be back early tomorrow to try and finish this off,” said Spieth.
Song
is also bracing for a titanic finish and hopes the course conditions
will play to his advantage as he seeks his maiden breakthrough.
“I
am really tired, it has been a long wait. Coming back tomorrow is okay
for me as the course should be in a better condition (less wet).
“Tomorrow
I will just play shot by shot and hope I can get the win. I have had a
lot of second place finishes and it is time for a victory,” said Song.
China’s Liang Wen-chong meanwhile carded a two-under-par 68 to complete his round just before the sirens went off again.
Liang,
2007 Asian Tour Order of Merit champion, would be following Monday’s
developments closely as his four-day total of 10-under-par 274 could
still give
him an outside chance of a play-off at the US$1 million event which is
sanctioned by the Asian Tour and Japan Golf Tour Organisation (JGTO).
“I
three-putted on 12 and that was a very costly bogey. But I also missed
several makeable birdie opportunities and I’m regretting it now.
“But overall, a 10-under score is still very respectable especially on this golf course,” said the Chinese.
