Green function rigidity for two dimensional sphere

We verify a conjecture proposed by X. Chen and Y. Shi, which arises from their study of the Green function on spheres in Euclidean space. More precisely, let $M\subset \mathbb{R}^3$ be a closed $C^{2}$ embedded surface and suppose that there exists a point $p\in M$ so that its Green function $G$ is of the form $G(p,q)=-\frac{1}{2π} \ln d_{\mathbb{R}^3}(p,q)+c, \forall q\neq p$, then $M$ must be a round sphere.
