KUALA LUMPUR: Thailand’s Kiradech Aphibarnrat and Malaysia’s budding amateur Gavin Kyle Green provided the cheers in the rain-hit Maybank Malaysian Open at the Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club last weekend.
Kiradech, Thailand’s 24-year-old rising star, led from Day One to win the US$2.75mil event and seal his place in history as the youngest winner on the European Tour this year. It was his second career win but one which will see him smiling all the way to the bank with a US$458,330 cheque.
