THAI veteran Thaworn Wiratchant secured a record-equalling 13th Asian Tour title, and his first win in nearly two years, with a three-shot victory at the Queen's Cup in Koh Samui, Thailand, yesterday.
The 45-year-old star had a glorious eagle on the last hole of the Santiburi Samui Country Club for a 3-under 68 to hold off Bangladesh's Siddikur and reigning Asian No. 1 Juvic Pagunsan of the Philippines.
Thaworn matched countryman Thongchai Jaidee's number of triumphs on the circuit with a winning total of 7-under 277, earning himself US$47,550 in the process, but he had to come from behind after bogeying the first.
"There was pressure from the first tee as I didn't hit a good tee shot and made bogey," Thaworn said.
Siddikur, chasing a second Asian Tour title, missed a costly par putt from two feet on the 15th hole while he was one ahead of Thaworn.
The Thai hero took full advantage, holing a five-foot birdie on 16 before a 12-foot eagle conversion on the 18th hole.
