Mardan Mamat (born 31 October 1967)[1] is a Singaporean professional golfer.

Career

In 1994, Mamat turned professional. Mamat plays on the Asian Tour, where he won for the first time at the 2004 Royal Challenge Indian Open.[2] In 2006, he won the OSIM Singapore Masters, which was co-sanctioned by the Asian Tour and the European Tour. This made him the first player from Singapore to win a European Tour event, and earned him a two-year exemption into the European Tour.[3]

Mamat was the first Singaporean to play in The Open Championship when he qualified in 1997.[4] He has also won several minor professional tournaments and was a member of the winning Rest of Asia team at the 2005 Dynasty Cup.

Personal life

Mamat is married and has five children.[5] His son, Hairul Syirhan, is a goalkeeper at S.League club Geylang International.[6]
