PRAYAD COMPLETES ROYAL DOUBLE AT KING’S CUP AT HOME IN THAILAND

Hua Hin: Thailand’s Prayad Marksaeng completed a Royal double when he posted a six-under-par 66 to win the US$1 million King’s Cup Golf Hua Hin at the Black Mountain Golf Club on Sunday.

After adding the Queen’s Cup to his trophy cabinet in June, the popular winner claimed another deserving victory at the Asian Tour season-ending event with a winning total of 12-under-par 276.

Sweden’s Rikard Karlberg, who had taken a share of the lead for the first two rounds, had to settle for second place after signing off with a 67.

Thailand’s Prom Meesawat will have to wait longer for his second Asian Tour win as a final round 71 saw him finish in equal third alongside compatriot Chapchai Nirat and India’s Anirban Lahiri.
