Nopparat Panichphol fired three birdies over the last three holes to retain the Singha-SAT Prachin Buri Championship title at Kabinburi Sport Club (KBSC) in Prachin Buri on Saturday.
Nopparat shot a five-under par 67 during the final round to finish on 20-under 268, one stroke ahead of overnight leader Pattarapol Kantacha.
The 27-year-old started the final round one stroke behind Pattarapol and collected six birdies on Saturday. He received 240,000 baht for his second title on the Thailand PGA tour.
“I am very happy to win this trophy again. I performed better than expected and I will definitely return to defend my title and aim for a third championship next year,” said Nopparat, who attributed his success this week to his approach play and chipping around the greens.
Pattarapol scored a three-under 69 to finish on 19 under while Tanarat Srisathaporn was third on 14 under.
