Suteepat Prateeptienchai won his fourth Asian Tour title \u2013 and the first outside Taiwan \u2013 with a sensational round that contained two eagles at the Mandiri Indonesia Open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 32-year-old Thai, back-to-back winner of 2023 Taiwan Glass Taifong Open in 2023 and 2024 and the 2024 Yeangder TPC, justified his billing as the top-ranked player in the field with a composed eight-under par 64 that gave him a seven-shot win over Hong Kong\u2019s Taichi Kho, who closed with a 66.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was also Suteepat\u2019s fourth professional win on Indonesian soil, having won three times on the Asian Development Tour\u2019s 2022 season, a feat that earned him a \u2018battlefield promotion\u2019 to the Asian Tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At Pondok Indah Golf Club course in Jakarta, the Aussie duo of Kevin Yuan (66) and Travis Smyth (70) were tied for third place at 16-under. Malaysia\u2019s Shahriffuddin Ariffin (74), leader by one at the start of the day, made back-to-back bogeys on the 17th and 18th and fell to tied fifth position alongside Thailand\u2019s Pawin Ingkhapradit (66).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Indonesia\u2019s Kevin Akbar was the best-placed local player, tying for seventh place with six other players with a bogey-free round of 66.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Suteepat raced ahead of Ariffin on the par-five sixth hole, where he made his first eagle, and then put a final stamp of authority with his grandstand finish on the 18th, where he drained a 10-footer putt for his second eagle of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI am so excited to come back to Indonesia, because I played here on the ADT and I\u2019ve been in this position three times. I\u2019m so glad to be back here,\u201d said Suteepat, who shot the best round of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI started pretty good, but the turning point was the eagle on the sixth. I had about 254 yards for my second shot and hit the three-wood to about six-seven feet. That was the turning point because I became the leader by two, and then made birdie on eighth, which is the most difficult hole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAll my friends on Asian Tour said I could only win in Taiwan, so I am really happy to show them that I can also win outside Taiwan. Really happy about that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kho, the reigning Asian Games champion, has had five top-10 finishes this season, but the second place this week was his finest effort on the Asian Tour since a tied second position in the 2023 Volvo China Open. A \u201cgood bogey\u201d on the 17th looked like dropping him down, but he bounced back with a birdie on the last hole and also benefited from Ariffin\u2019s misfortunes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 24-year-old, who laid up on the 18th and hit his third shot to five feet, said: \u201cIt was good\u2026 I plotted along nicely. I did not feel super comfortable over the ball all week, so I feel like I did a really good job managing that. I was okay with just hitting average shots, and you know, when I did hit a good one, I made the most of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOn the 17th, I went for the shorter club and a harder swing, which usually works out for me under pressure, but this time it didn’t. I was up against the back lip of the bunker, so it was a good bogey there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was Akbar\u2019s best finish on the Asian Tour result to date, bettering his tied 38th place at the 2022 BNI Indonesian Masters presented by Tunas Niaga Energi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 27-year-old, winner of one title on the Asian Development Tour, said: \u201cActually, I was feeling pretty relaxed. I was a bit nervous on the last two holes, as I\u2019ve never been in this position before. My family also walked with me through the round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJust kept it simple\u2026 fairway, green, fairway, green. I\u2019m pretty happy with the result. I am feeling confident with the way I played. Especially, these last few months when I have practiced a lot with my Trackman. Everything went right this week.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Asian Tour schedule will resume after a week\u2019s break with the 41st Shinhan Donghae Open in Korea, to be played at the Jack Nicklaus Golf Club Korea from September 11-14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
