DP WORLD TOUR | Porsche Singapore Classic
Titleist Brand Ambassador Richard Mansell closed out his maiden DPWT title with authority, birdieing the last to post 16 under and secure a one-stroke victory. Playing a setup that included his Pro V1 golf ball, TSi3 driver, T100 and 620 MB irons, Vokey SM10 wedges and Scotty Cameron Phantom putter, the 29-year-old Englishman turned in rounds of 68-66-66 around Laguna National Golf Resort Club for the weather-shortened 54-hole event.
Mansell’s game was dialled in from start to finish, ranking 2nd in Strokes Gained: Tee to Green (+13.88). Over four of those strokes came from his play off the tee (+4.04, 9th) and over six from his approach play (+6.64, 7th). He also led the field in greens in regulation (85%) and scrambling (7/8, 88%).

MANSELL ON HIS PRO V1 GOLF BALL:
“I like the way it feels and the way it gives me so much control. The guys know what they are doing and that’s what they tell me to use so I use it.
“I really like to feel the golf ball and feel like I can spin it the way I want to and really have that control around the greens.
“But I’m not a massively technical person when it comes to my equipment, I put my trust in the guys to tell me what’s going to work best for me because they really know what they are doing.”
ON WORKING WITH THE TITLEIST TEAM:
“It’s hands down the best team that we’ve got out here. It’s that attention to detail to find those 1% gains. The equipment obviously speaks for itself but having the bigger team out here really helps, we get everything we need and we don’t need to wait for it.
“For the first time in a long time I feel really settled with my whole equipment set-up. When I re-signed with Titleist Liam McDougall just said we were going to go back to my old set-up with driver because it was working really well. I know the new product is great but my driving stats had always been great so it was nice to go back to that familiar set-up. The guys are just doing everything they can to make sure the equipment is performing.”
ON HIS T100 IRONS:
“I did some work with Anthony Williams and the change we made going from CBs to T100 in the 4 and 5 iron was massive.
“We got a higher launch which was great and really helped when going into the par-5s and I don’t really seem to mishit them so the overall numbers and consistency is much better.
“And then going into the shorter irons we went for a bit of a groove change at the start of the year and it has given me a bit more spin especially when playing out of the rough.
ON A RECENT PUTTER CHANGE:
“I actually put a new putter in play for the first time this week and it worked really well.
“I’ve done a lot of work with Henry Byrne and Mike Madden at The Barn and they’ve had to be pretty patient with me to be honest. I’ve tried every brand and every headshape and they’ve been banging on about the importance of having some consistency.
“Spending some time at The Barn was great because we’ve got more time than on the practice green at an event, you’ve got all the cameras there to really see what is going on. You get to see everything in detail and then come away with that confidence you’ve got the right putter.
“It was a putter I got fitted into with Henry in a chrome version and I took it home to practice and really liked it. But they came out with a black model for me and I liked the look of it even more.
“I reflected on it and it reminded me of when I was choosing a putter as a kid – it’s really important to get something you really like the look of – something that you really want to putt with. I had tried some other brands and to be honest I hated looking down on it. The data is important but ultimately you need to like the look of it to have that confidence. It all worked out really well for me this week.”
