PAVIT POWERS TO VICTORY AT THE 

PGM TERENGGANU CHAMPIONSHIP

 

Terengganu, Malaysia: Pavit Tangkamolprasert of Thailand mounted a late charge to win his second Asian Development Tour (ADT) title at the PGM Terengganu Championship today.

The 25-year-old Pavit sank six birdies in his last 12 holes for a five-under-par 66 and a 13-under-par 271 total to defeat overnight leader Pijit Petchkasem, also of Thailand, by one shot at the RM200,000 (approximately US$60,000) ADT event.

It was a case of so close but yet so far again for Pijit, who settled for second after returning with a 71 while Rattanon Wannasrichan completed a top-three finish for Thailand at the Resorts World Kijal. Shaaban Hussin (71) was the best placed Malaysian in fourth after ending his campaign on 276.

The ADT is celebrating its fifth season where it has grown immensely from five events in the first year in 2010 to a record 20 tournaments in 2014.

This season, the ADT will reward the top five players on the final Order of Merit with playing rights for the 2015 Asian Tour season. Previously, only the top-three players were offered Asian Tour cards.
