Thongchai Jaidee takes Wales Open
NEWPORT, Wales (AP) ― Thailand’s Thongchai Jaidee survived a poor start to win the Wales Open by 1 stroke on Sunday, with a final round 1-over 72 in wet conditions.
The 42-year-old Jaidee, who was the leader through three rounds, holed four birdies on the back nine at Celtic Manor, after bogeying the fourth and double-bogeying the par-five ninth, where he went out of bounds before finding a bunker. Jaidee finished 6-under 278 for his fifth European Tour title.
The Netherlands’ Jooist Luiten (72) and Denmark’s Thomas Bjorn (68) shared second place with Spain’s Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano (67) and South Africa’s Richard Sterne (68) at 5-under.
