Rookie Srithong rallies to Manila Masters victory
Print Edition
Thailand’s Natipong Srithong hit a brilliant 5-under-par 67 to claim the Manila Masters thrilling style yesterday, becoming the second Thai newcomer to win in successive weeks on the Asian Tour.
The 22-year-old, who only turned professional in September, carded a 15-under 273 overall score at the par-72 Manila Southwoods Golf and Country Club after overcoming a four-shot deficit in the final round. Srithong finished one shot ahead of South Africa’s Jbe Kruger — who closed with a 71 — while overnight leader Hung Chien-yao of Chinese Taipei, who sank a hole-in-one, was two shots behind alongside compatriot Lee Chieh-po. The winner of what is the richest golf event in the Philippines, a final-year law undergraduate, earned US$180,000 for his remarkable victory, emulating close friend and fellow rookie Danthai Boonma, who won in Singapore last week.
