Svensson out duels Kiradech in three-hole playoff

Jesper Svensson finally shed his bridesmaid’s tag by prevailing over Kiradech Aphibarnrat in a thrilling three-hole playoff battle to win the Porsche Singapore Classic on Sunday.

After being denied grandstand finishes on several occasions on the Challenge Tour and DP World Tour in the last year, Svensson was ecstatic he could finally break into the winner’s circle on his maiden trip to Singapore.

“Combined with Challenge Tour last year and the beginning of this season I’ve had five second-place spots in the last year. I really wanted to come out on top here,” said the 28-year-old Swede.

“It’s very hard to win, so it’s really nice to finally come out on top.”
