Sentosa, Oct 27 : World number two Phil Mickelson is hoping to carry his impressive late-season form into this week's US$5 million Barclays Singapore Open, which will bring together the strongest field in Asia this year.

The hugely popular American lefthander regained second spot in the world rankings after his victory over Tiger Woods in the Tour Championship last month and then contributed four and a half points for the triumphant United States team in the President's Cup.
