Thailand’s Rattanon Wannasrichan swept to a brilliant wire-to-wire victory in the US$1 million SJM Macao Open today for his first victory on the Asian Tour in seven years.

On a beautiful sunny day at Macau Golf & Country Club, the 29-year-old confidently completed arguably the finest week of his career by firing a four-under-par 66 to finish the tournament on 20 under.

Players from Thailand made it a clean sweep of the top three positions, with Gunn Charoenkul finishing second, two shots back following a 67, and Poosit Supupramai third, another two strokes behind, after a 64.

Current Asian Tour Order of Merit leader John Catlin from the United States returned a 65 to share fourth with Filipino Miguel Tabuena, who eagled the par-five 18th for a 63 – the perfect way to celebrate his 30th birthday today.

Rattanon has won once before on the Asian Tour, at the Thailand Open in 2017, and is also a winner on the Asian Development Tour, claiming the 2015 Taifong Open.

“I’m so happy,” said Rattanon.

“I didn’t think I could win again, because I had a very tough year in 2019. I played really badly that year, but I told myself to not give up, that’s why I could improve my game and win again.”

The Asian Tour’s International Series now moves to Thailand with tournaments at Black Mountain https://www.golfasian.com/golf-courses/thailand-golf-courses/hua-hin/black-mountain-golf-club/  and Thai Country Club https://www.golfasian.com/golf-courses/thailand-golf-courses/bangkok/thai-country-club/, both top course often used by tour operator Golfasian.
