KUALA LUMPUR: Thailand’s Itthipat Burantanyarat rediscovered his winning form when he fired a seven-under-par 64 to win by two shots in the final round of the Boonchu Ruangkit Championship on Sunday.

The 25-year-old Thai broke his three-year title drought on the Asian Development Tour (ADT) by staying focused on a pressure-filled final day to clinch the ฿4 million (approximately US$121,700) event with his winning total of 26-under-par 258.

Itthipat took home the winner’s share of US$21,863 and received 10 Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) points following his victory at the fifth edition of the event hosted by Thai legend Boonchu Ruangkit.

American Johannes Veerman made a final charge with a 63, to share second place on a 260 total with England’s Steve Lewton, who ended his campaign with a 66 at the Rancho Charnvee Resort and Country Club.

Malaysian’s Shahriffuddin Ariffin signed for a closing three-under 68 to finish in a five-way tie for 25th on 13-under-par. The 19-year-old will hope to continue his solid progress when he features at the US$1 million SMBC Singapore Open on the Asian Tour this coming week.
