Lee Westwood
Challenging Course Conditions
Players noted the demanding nature of the Sentosa Golf Club course. Westwood described it as a major championship-style golf course
, emphasizing the need for accuracy off the tee. Niemann agreed, calling it a really stressful golf course
with a lot of danger off the tee, a lot of water on second shots.
DeChambeau’s Perspective on the Greens
DeChambeau noted changes in the green conditions during his final round. He stated, I played really well. The greens on 8, 9, 10, 11 got really slow. For some reason, there wasn’t as much wind around there and I guess the greens got slower in that area and I three-putted a few of them and that cost me some momentum.
