Poulter hangs on for Singapore victory

Ian Poulter carded a closing 72, one-over-par, to edge out China’s Liang Wen-chong by one shot and complete a nervous wire-to-wire victory in the Barclays Singapore Open today.

With former Asian number one Liang in the clubhouse at nine-under following a final round of 70, Poulter stood on the 18th tee with a one-stroke lead after seeing his five-shot halfway cushion wiped out yesterday.
