MEDIA RELEASE FROM THE ASIAN TOUR

Malaysia’s Kenneth De Silva produced a stunning seven-under-par 65 to secure his maiden Asian Development Tour victory at the PGM Sarawak Masters today.

Starting the final round three shots off the lead, the 21-year-old rookie professional birdied his opening three holes at the Sarawak Golf Club and did not look back with an outstanding outward 30. 
He became only the second Malaysian after S. Siva Chandhran to win on the ADT, which was launched by the Asian Tour in 2010.

England’s Peter Richardsan finished runner-up after closing with a solid 67 while Filipino Charles Hong signed off with a 69 to come in third in the RM180,000 (approximately US$60,000) event, which is the 10^th leg of the 2012 Schedule.
