Prayad claims Queen’s Cup

THAI Prayad Marksaeng tamed the challenging Santiburi Samui Country Club course to win his ninth Asian Tour title with a two-shot victory at the Queen’s Cup yesterday.

The 49-year-old overturned a three-shot deficit with a final-round 6-under-par 65 to pip countryman Thanyakon Khrongpha to the title with a winning total of 14-under 270 at the event on Koh Samui island. “To be able to win at 49 years old is just incredible for me. I am very proud of myself,” Prayad, also the event’s 2013 winner, said after firing nine birdies against three bogeys in his final round. Thanyakon fell agonizingly short of his maiden title after carding a matching 65. A third Thai, Jazz Janewattananond, fired a 66 to be joint third at 274, along with Siddikur Rahman (68) of Bangladesh.
