Artiruj Winaicharoenchai relied on his old putter to beat overnight leader Amarin Kraivixien by five points to win the three-million-baht Thailand Mixed, which was competed in a stableford format, at Thana City Country Club yesterday.
Trailing Amarin by one point at the first tee, Artiruj quickly got into the driver’s seat with four birdies after seven holes.
Despite a hiccup on the ninth where he had a double bogey, the 22-year-old recovered to fire four birdies in the next five holes, then bogeyed on the 15th before producing crucial par putts from the 16th holes onwards.
He signed off with 12 points for a total 38 after 72 holes…
