FLAWLESS MUNSON CLINCHES SECOND ADT WIN AT PGM PANASONIC MALAYSIA CHAMPIONSHIP

-
American Brett Munson ended a three-year title drought after closing with a bogey-free five-under-par 67 to seal his second Asian Development Tour (ADT) title at the PGM Panasonic Malaysia Championship on Saturday. The 30-year-old Munson overturned a three-shot deficit when he fired five birdies to claim a two-shot victory with a winning total of 18-under-par 270 at the Kelab Rahman Putra Malaysia, the same venue where he won his breakthrough ADT title in 2014.
 
Thailand's Jakraphan Premsirigorn, a one-time ADT winner in 2013, signed for a 68 to take second place while compatriot Panuwat Muenlek and overnight leader Liu Yan-wei of China shared third place on 273 following respective rounds of 71 and 73. South African Mathiam Keyser (66), Thailand's Suradit Yongcharoenchai (69) and Finland's Janne Kaske (72) shared fifth place on 274 with Sukree Othman (66), who emerged as the highest ranked Malaysian at the RM250,000 (approximately US$55,000) ADT event.
 
With the tournament offering a spot to the leading Malaysian professional at the Panasonic Open Japan, Sukree will now get the opportunity to tee up in the tournament sanctioned by the Asian Tour and the Japan Golf Tour from April 20 to 23. Munson is clearly overjoyed with his victory, which was a timely confidence booster as he looks ahead to his season on the Asian Tour, where he had regained his card at the Qualifying School last month.
