Three bogeys cost McDowell Singapore triumph

GRAEME MCDOWELL missed out on a first victory in over 15 months with three bogeys in succession on the final day of the Barclays Singapore Open.

McDowell went to the front with just four holes to play but three dropped shots in succession from the 14th led to an eventual three-over par 74 and a share of fifth place.

England’s Ian Poulter ended a three-year European Tour winless drought in posting a closing 72 to win by a stroke from China’s Wen-chong Liang (70) while the Australian duo of Scott Hend (68) and Adam Scott (69) were next best on eight-under par.
