Teeing off five shots behind leader Settee Prakrongvech, the 27-year-old from Prachinburi shot two eagles on the second and fourth holes before he completed a hat-trick on the 16th, which propelled him to his first Thai PGA Tour title with a total of 21-under-par 267. تور تایلند
“I’d never shot 11-under and three eagles in a single round before. My plan was to finish the third round with 10-under. I went for it on the final day because I’m a big hitter. On any given day, I’m capable of shooting low scores. I just never thought I would hit a 61 in one day,” said Raththee, who was formerly known as Piphatphong Newsuk. تور تایلند
“I played aggressive golf from the first hole and everything just went my way. After the front-nine, I was quite happy with 16-under and just hoped to finish among the top five. But then came the birdie on the 15th and an eagle on the 16th that changed the whole thing. I couldn’t be happier with the way I played today,” said Raththee, who took the winner’s cheque of Bt240,000. تور تایلند
Raththee earlier won an ADT and All Thailand Tour co-sanctioned Boonchu Ruangkit Championship in Nakhon Ratchasima in 2015. He also won the SEA Games individual and team gold medals there in 2007.
“I set the target of winning a title this year either on the All Thailand or Thai PGA Tour. But this was quite a surprise as I was five strokes back at the start of the day.”
Overnight (تور تایلند) leader Settee was neck-and-neck with Raththee until a double bogey on the 12th that broke his momentum. After a bogey on the 14th, his chance seemed to slip away although he fought back to hit two birdies for an ending 69 and a total of 18-under-par 270 to take the tied second place along with Tirawat Kaewsiribandit and Pijit Petchkasem. Each received Bt94,700.
The All Thailand Tour will stop at the Royal Hills Golf Resort and Spa in Nakhon Nayok from May 31 to June 3.
