CHIA CRUISE TO VICTORY AT PGM BUKIT JAWI CHAMPIONSHIP

-

​Local stalwart Danny Chia cruised to a six-shot victory after shooting an impressive seven-under-par 65 at the PGM Bukit Jawi Championship on Saturday. The 42-year-old claimed his third Asian Development Tour (ADT) title with a 21-under-par 267 total at the RM200,000 (approximately US$50,000) event which was staged at the Bukit Jawi Golf Resort.

Casey O'Toole of the United States replaced Hsieh Chi-hsien of Chinese Taipei as the new ADT Order of Merit leader after settling for his second runner-up finish this season following a 69. Sean Riordan of New Zealand matched the low round of 65 to finish third on 274 while Thailand's Itthipat Buranatanyarat ended his campaign in fourth place after shooting a 71.
 
The dominant Chia eagled the sixth hole from the edge of the green to turn in 31. He picked up another eagle on hole 10 and sealed a comfortable win with a birdie on 17 which erased his only dropped shot of the day on hole 15.
