    PRESS RELEASE MARDAN CHASES NEW LEADER COETZEE AT AFRASIA BANK MAURITIUS OPEN Domaine de Bel Ombre, Mauritius, May 9: Veteran Singaporean Mardan Mamat battled to a four-under-par 67 to lie three strokes behind new leader George Coetzee after the third round of the inaugural AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open on Saturday. The four-time Asian Tour winner traded five birdies against a bogey at the Heritage Golf Club to lie in solo fourth position heading into the final day of the €1 million (approximately US$1.1 million) tournament tri-sanctioned by the Asian, European and Sunshine Tours. South African star Coetzee equaled the course record with a brilliant 65 to surge one shot ahead of countryman Thomas Aiken and overnight leader Thorbjorn Olesen of Denmark who returned a 68 and 70 respectively. Asian Tour regular Carlos Pigem of Spain dropped two late bogeys for a 69 to earn a share of fifth place with amongst others, Australian Nathan Holman, four back of Coetzee, who leads on 11-under-par 202. Power-packed Coetzee, who is ranked 63rd in the world, crafted four birdies on the card and holed out for a stunning eagle from the fairway on the par five seventh hole to charge into contention for a career seventh victory at the magnificent Heritage course. “As I walked off the course, I told my manager I don’t know how I’m shooting under par the way I’m playing, but obviously the course must suit my eye pretty well,” smiled the 28-year-old. “I’m pretty happy with the way things turned out in the end.

March 3-6, 2016 Purse: $9,500,000 Trump National Doral-Blue Monster Par/Yards: 72/7,543 Final-Round Notes – Sunday, March 06, 2016 Weather Sunday: Mostly sunny skies with a high in the low 80s. Northerly winds increased to 15-25 mph in the afternoon. Final Leaderboard 1 Adam Scott 68-66-73-69—276 (-12) 2 Bubba Watson 69-69-71-68—277 (-11) T3 Danny Willett 68-69-72-69—278 (-10) T3 Rory McIlroy 71-65-68-74—278 (-10) 5 Phil Mickelson 67-72-70-70—279 (-9) 6 Jimmy Walker 69-72-73-66—280 (-8) Winner Stats After nine holes of the final round, four players, Bubba Watson, Danny Willett, Phil Mickelson and Rory McIlroy, made the turn tied for the lead at 10-under and a back-nine shootout looked likely. It was Adam Scott, who made the turn at 8-under, who came from behind after starting the day three strokes behind Rory McIlroy. Scott began with a birdie on the opening hole before a pair of double bogeys at Nos. 3 and 5 halted his challenge. Scott then played the last 13 holes in 6-under par. After driving behind a tree on the final hole, Scott bravely tried to cut his second shot around the tree and over the water. His ball came to rest on the grassy bank inside the water hazard left of the green. Scott chipped to 6’ 8” below the hole and made the putt to win in back-to-back weeks on the PGA TOUR.
