Udorn Wins Season 2nd Title
Red hot Udorn Duangdecha lifted up his second title of the year after he shot a final 69 to beat Pijit Pecthkasem by four shots in the final round of the Bt 3 Million Singha SAT Championship at the par 71 7,053 yard Watermill Golf & Gardens in Nakhon Nayo
Fresh from winning an All Thailand Golf Tour in Khon Kaen last month Udorn who started the round with a three stroke lead shot four birdies and a bogey for a total 18-under-par 266 to win the top prize money of Bt435,000.
The 46-year-old who won the Thai PGA Tour Order Of Merits between 2010 – 2012 is now the strong contender to end the season as the top money leader both on the All Thailand Tour and Thai PGA Tour.
“This year I stared winning again because I’ve become more disciplined,” said the Chiang-Mai based whose last victory on the Thai PGA Tour occurred at the Blue Sapphire Golf and Resort in Kanchanaburi two years ago.
“My goal is to end this year as the No 1 player on both tours. While no one can surpass me on the All Thailand, I still have to produce good results in the remaining circuits of the Thai PGA side. But I’m confident I can achieve that as I have been hitting the driver quite well which makes it easy for me to control my game,” added Udorn whose total gross on the Thai PGA Tour is Bt899,946 and Bt1,384,375 on the All Thailand Tour.
With only three remaining Thai PGA events including the next stop in Kanchanaburi, Udorn must finish as high as possible in those events especially the last meet in Khon Kaen which offers the biggest overall prize money of Bt5 million in order to achieve his goal.
At lone second place was Pijit who hit a 69 for a total 14-under-par270, one ahead of Pannakorn Uthaipas who hit a 65 and a total 271.
