Prayad Marksaeng continued his good run on the over-50 circuit, winning the Japan Senior Open Golf Championship yesterday.
Despite a two-over-par 74 in the final round, the Thai had little trouble in taking the title on 270.
He finished two shots ahead of joint runners-up Toru Suzuki and Kouki Idokigi of Japan.
It was his third win on the Japan Senior Tour this year and seventh overall.
Prayad got ¥16 million (about 4.6 million baht) in prize money and is now eligible to play at the US Senior Open, one of the five major events for masters.
In Spijk, Frenchman Romain Wattel grabbed his maiden European Tour title with a one-shot victory at the Dutch Open on Sunday, as Thailand's Kiradech Aphibarnrat faltered late on.
World No.451 Wattel, who had finished in the top-10 25 times without a victory in his previous 186 events, carded a solid 69 to win with a 15-under total, as Kiradech paid the price for two double bogeys.
Kiradech went into the day with a one-shot lead over 26-year-old Wattel with Joel Stalter one further behind, but quickly slipped below both of his French playing partners.
Kiradech found himself with a one-shot advantage with four holes remaining, only to post a costly double bogey on the par-five 14th hole.
Wattel led by one going to the 18th, but Kiradech made a mess of the final hole en route to a second double bogey, leaving Wattel to tap in for par to claim the title.
Kiradech finished on 272 after a 73 in the final round. bangkok post/afp
