Pavit records third ADT title at Sarawak Championship

Thai golfer Pavit Tangkamolprasert rounded off a superb week when he fired a three-under-par 69 to claim his third Asian Development Tour (ADT) victory at the PGM MNRB Sarawak Championship here Saturday.

Pavit, who just clinched his second ADT title in Malaysia a month ago, mixed his card with one eagle and four birdies against three straight bogeys to compile a four-day total of 14-under-par 274 at the RM250,000 (approximately $80,000) ADT event.

Young talent Arie Irawan marked his best result on the ADT this season following a 68 to take second place with Tirawat Kaewsiribandit of Thailand, who slipped with a closing 74 after sharing the overnight lead with Pavit at the Sarawak Golf Club.

Annop, younger brother of Pavit, battled to a 68 to stay one shot back in fourth place with England's Grant Jackson while Malaysia's Sukree Othman and Thailand's Pasamet Pogamnerd shared sixth on matching 281s after rounds of 70 and 73 respectively.

"I am really pleased with my win. I've been playing some good golf and with this win, I am quite confident of finishing in top-five on the final Order of Merit to earn my Asian Tour card for 2015," said the 25-year-old Thai, who took home a winner's prize purse of $13,769 and six Official World Golf Ranking points.
