YOUNG POOM CELEBRATES MAIDEN ADT WIN AT PGM KINRARA CHAMPIONSHIP

-
Young Thai talent Poom Saksansin captured his maiden Asian Development Tour (ADT) victory after closing with a classy six-under-par 64 to win by one shot at the PGM Kinrara Championship on Saturday.

The 22-year-old Thai, who held a one-shot lead heading into the final round, fired seven birdies against a lone bogey for a winning total of 12-under-par 198 at the RM200,000 (approximately US$50,000) ADT event.

Filipino Mars Pucay returned with the day's lowest score of 63 to take second place at the Kinrara Golf Club. His impressive bogey-free run would have set a new course record if not for the preferred lies in place.

Thailand's Ronnachai Jamrong and local stalwart Shaaban Hussin settled four shots back in third place following rounds of 67 and 68 respectively while Japanese Masaru Takahashi (67), Malcolm Kokocinski of Sweden (67) and Malaysia's Sukree Othman (69) shared fifth on 204 at the PGM Kinrara Championship, which is the 23rd leg of the ADT schedule this season.

Poom, who joined the play-for-pay ranks in 2013, capped a flawless front nine 30 highlighted by four straight birdies starting from the sixth hole before adding two more birdies against a lone bogey on his way home.

The PGM Kinrara Championship was earlier reduced to 54 holes by tournament officials after the first round was postponed to Thursday due to bad haze in the local area.
