All Thailand Golf Tour - 22nd Singha Thailand Masters

Kiradech Aphibarnrat returned home to win a sixth title on the All Thailand Golf Tour at the season ending 22nd Singha Thailand Masters 2021. Aphibarnrat earned 5 Ranking Points moving back inside the Top 200 to World No. 187.

As the overnight joint leader he closed with a final-hole eagle for a 68 to win on 15-under, one shot better than Phachara Khongwatmai, who also eagled the last hole for a 67 finishing second.

Amateur Ratchanon Chantananuwat (66) and Varanyu Rattanaphiboonkij (68) finished tied for third on 17-under.

14-year-old Chantananuwat, who met his top-5 target, won the best amateur award for the fifth time in six events this year.

Professional Golf Tour India – TATA Steel Tour Championship

Olympian Udayan Mane came out best in the battle of nerves with a gritty last round of three-under 69 to win the PGTI’s season-ending TATA Steel Tour Championship and the 2020-2021 Order of Merit title.

Mane (68-66-67-69) made six birdies, a bogey and a double-bogey in round four to end up with a tournament tally of 18-under 270 at the season’s showpiece event worth Rs. 1.5 crore in prize money which was played across the Beldih and Golmuri Golf Courses in Jamshedpur. The six -foot four-inch tall Pune-based golfer, who made a 12-feet pressure putt for victory on the last hole, made it a year to remember as he followed up his Tokyo Olympics appearance with the bragging rights of being No. 1 in PGTI’s money list with season’s earnings of Rs. 58,72,275.

Two-time Asian Tour winner Rashid Khan (70-72-66-63) matched the tournament’s lowest round of nine-under 63 on Sunday to climb 10 spots and finish runner-up at 17-under 271. Delhi-based Khan, who made an eagle and seven birdies in round four, gave himself an opportunity to have a shot at the title and was even staring at a record fourth PGTI Order of Merit crown as his playoff with Udayan was looking possible at one stage.

PGA Tour of Australasia - Gippsland Super 6

Jack Thompson won his first professional title at the Gippsland Super 6 jumping 352 spots to a career best of World No. 566.

Three bogeys in the space of five holes on day three put Thompson in jeopardy of missing the match play section altogether but once through he went on a giant-killing run to meet Jordan Zunic in the six-hole final.

The pair couldn’t be separated across the six-hole course set-up at Warragul Country Club and went into a playoff, Thompson’s sublime pitch shot from the left of the green resulting in a short putt for par.

Zunic also missed the green with his tee shot but missed his par attempt from 15 feet, allowing Thompson to complete the formalities and notch his first win as a professional.

Runner-up to Anthony Quayle in a playoff at the 2020 Queensland Open whilst still an amateur, Thompson has contended regularly in PGA Tour of Australasia events since turning pro in February and felt an overwhelming sense of relief as he cradled the trophy.
