Genworth Stats Pack 6.1 - Barclays Singapore Open Preview
Can Scott fend off McIlroy, Oosthuizen and others to make it four at Sentosa?
This week's Genworth Stats Pack heads to Sentosa Golf Club for the Barclays Singapore Open, a venue where Adam Scott has won three times. The event throws up some interesting stories. Will McIlroy put himself out of reach at the top of the Race to Dubai? Will Scott win for a fourth time at Sentosa Golf Club? Will Casey continue his recent form and qualify impressively for the big one? Our Genworth Analysis looks at some of the big names.
Rory McIlroy
| Season Statistics | Result | Rank |

Louis Oosthuizen
Genworth Analysis
Louis is statistically the best player on the European Tour this year. He leads three of the Genworth Statistics categories, including Stroke Average and Greens in Regulation. And he also leads the Genworth Performance Award. With a 3rd place finish at this event last year (where he produced great stats) and solid performances over the last two weeks, Louis is one of the strong favourites here.
| Season Statistics | Result | Rank |
|---|---|---|
| Stroke Average | 69.67 | 1st |
| Driving Accuracy | 68.2% | 28th |
| Driving Distance | 296 yds | 34th |
| Greens in Reg | 80.7% | 1st |
| Scrambles | 70.2% | 1st |
| Sand Saves | 64.0% | 29th |
| Putts per GIR | 1.730 | 8th |
| Putts per Round | 29.4 | 54th |
Adam Scott
| Tournament Results | 2010 | 2011 |
|---|---|---|
| Finish Position | 1st | N/A |
| Score to Par | -17 | N/A |
Genworth Analysis
Having won at Sentosa Golf Club three times (2005 / 2006 / 2010) Adam obviously likes the course. His last appearance came in 2010 where he performed brilliantly from tee to green. Analysing his Genworth Statistics from that year, he ranked 5th in Driving Accuracy, 3rd in Greens in Regulation and 4th in Putts per GIR en route to victory. Desperate to win before the end of the year Sentosa may be his best chance.

Padraig Harrington
| Tournament Results | 2010 | 2011 |
|---|---|---|
| Finish Position | Cut | Cut |
| Score to Par | -1 | +4 |
Genworth Analysis
Padraig's form at this tournament over the past two years has not been great, but he arrives here in good spirits off the back of a win at the Grand Slam Of Golf. Looking at his Genworth Tournament Statistics in 2010 / 2011 he played quite well over the Tanjong Course, but below his best over the Serapong Course, where he averaged 34.5 putts per round. A better eye on the greens this week should see his recent good form continue.
| Tournament Stats 2010 / 2011 | ||
|---|---|---|
| Rounds | 4 | |

| Scrambles | 40.0% | |
| Sand Saves | 33.3% | |
| Putts per GIR | 1.895 | |
| Putts per Round | 33.25 | |
Phil Mickelson
| Tournament Results | 2010 | 2011 |
|---|---|---|
| Finish Position | 37th | 33rd |
| Score to Par | -3 | -5 |
Genworth Analysis
Phil is a regular at this event so he possesses a good amount of course knowledge. But his performance over the past two years has been pretty average. He does rank very high on the Genworth Par 3 Scoring statistic for this tournament, and he steered clear of all greenside bunkers in both 2010 / 2011, but he will need to reduce the number of double bogeys on the Par 4's and Par 5's (compared to recent years) if he is to fend off the likes of McIlroy, Oosthuizen and Scott.

Genworth Analysis
The other tournament favourites will carry a slight advantage over the world number one this week, being previous knowledge of the Sentosa course. But Rory will take that in his stride, and love the fact that his closest rivals in the Race to Dubai have not attended the event. After a 2nd place finish at the BMW Masters (where he topped the Genworth Par 4 Scoring statistic) he will be relaxed and confident.
