Khan seals 1-shot victory at Chiangmai Classic

INDIA’S Rashid Khan produced a strong back-nine performance to win the Chiangmai Golf Classic in Chiang Mai, northern Thailand, by one shot for his second Asian Tour title yesterday.

Trailing overnight leader Thanyakon Khrongpha of Thailand by two strokes, the 23-year-old carded a 4-under-par 68 in the final round to finish on 17 under. Thanyakon (71) and Khan’s compatriot Jyoti Randhawa (69) finished tied for the second spot. Khan was trailing by three strokes after the Thai started with a birdie on the opening hole but he kept his composure and picked up four shots in six holes from the ninth to climb back in contention. “This win is really special because it is my second win this year and first outside of India,” Khan told reporters after his victory. “It was a really good week.”
