Mardan Mamat, the successful Malay from Spore.

Congratulations to Mardan Mamat for his victory in the Phillipine Open Golf Tournament. An afable guy with a pleasant personality he virtually killed the field with his splendid display of skill and patience in the difficult Wack Wack course. To put his victory in perspective, only four players played sub par in the final score  and Mardan was a runaway winner wining the Open with five strokes.Mardan's win was the first for any singaporean to win on the asian tour.

A lesson to be learned from Mardan's victory. His victory at the ripe young age of 44 proves that a malay without any handicap can easily excel on a level playing field. Time our Malaysian malays learn a lesson from this Singaporean malay. You dont need any leg up fellows. Practice hard and you will be duly rewarded.
