Mickelson to tee up at Singapore Open

World number three Phil Mickelson will make his first ever appearance on the Asian Tour when he competes in the Barclays Singapore Open at Sentosa Golf Club from November 1-4, 2007.

Organisers of Asia’s richest National Open today confirmed that the American will tee-off in the US$4 million dollar tournament which will feature four of the world’s top 10 golfers and a host of Asia’s top players.

Mickleson has made a number of swing changes this year with new coach Butch Harmon, although a nagging wrist injury has prevented him from performing at his best. He hopes that by taking a few weeks off now - following the PGA Championship - he will be well placed to perform better for the remainder of the season, particularly when he is in Asia.

Bob Tan, Chairman of the Barclays Singapore Open Steering Committee said, “We are delighted that Mickelson has chosen to make his Asian Tour debut at the Barclays Singapore Open in 2007. Mickelson’s attacking style of play and sensational short game will add another exciting dimension to the tournament which three years ago established itself as ‘Asia’s Major’. He holds a number of course records on the PGA Tour so it will be very interesting to see how he performs on the Serapong course.”

Nicknamed ‘Lefty’, the three-time Major winner will encounter several challengers in his bid to claim his first Asian title. He will be up against world number four Ernie Els; world number five Adam Scott, aiming for his third consecutive title and current US Open champion Angel Cabrera. The talented field will also include world number six Vijay Singh, former US Open champion Michael Campbell, Ryder Cup hero and stalwart of the European Tour, Darren Clarke and Japan’s Shingo Katayama.
