AMERICAN SNYDER CRUISES TO SECOND ADT WIN AT THE PGM MNRB CHAMPIONSHIP

-
Overnight leader Blake Snyder was rewarded for his patience when he closed with a four-under-par 68 to win by two shots for his second Asian Development Tour (ADT) title at the PGM MNRB Championship on Saturday. The 25-year-old American, who held a one-shot advantage heading into the final round, fired five birdies against one bogey for a winning total of 15-under-par 273 at the Damai Golf and Country Club.

John Catlin, also of the United States, came in runner-up after signing for a 67 while Singapore's Johnson Poh returned with a 69 to take third place on 277 at the RM200,000 (approx. US$44,600) ADT event. Thailand's Nirun Sae-Ueng battled to a 72 to settle a further shot back in fourth while countryman Jakraphan Premsirigorn carded a 71 to sit in fifth place on 280. ADT Order of Merit leader Masaru Takahashi of Japan slipped to sixth place on 282 following a 74.

Snyder, who claimed his ADT breakthrough two years ago, sank two birdies against one bogey to turn in 35 before adding three more birdies on the 11th, 13th and 15th holes to seal the deal. He took home a winner's prize purse of US$8,265 following his victory and propelled to third place on the ADT Order of Merit, putting himself in position to secure one of the five Asian Tour cards on offer for the 2018 season.

The leading five players on the 2017 ADT Order of Merit at the end of the season will earn playing rights on the region's premier Tour in 2018. All ADT events are afforded with Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) status. The winner of each tournament receives a minimum of six OWGR points while the top-six players and ties earn points on a sliding scale.
