Local favourite Chawalit Plaphol claimed the Queen's Cup on Sunday, ending a frustrating five-year Asian Tour drought with a polished final round.
The 36-year-old, who led by one overnight, produced an accomplished three-under-par 68 at the Santiburi Samui Country Club to beat countryman Prayad Marksaeng, who closed with a bogey-free 67, by two shots.
Japan's Daisuke Marumaya settled for third place, six shots back after a 73 while South African Peter Karmis eagled his last hole for a 70 to take fourth place in the $300,000 Asian Tour event on the holiday isle of Samui.
"This feels good. I've not had a trophy in five years. My last win ( Bangkok Airways Open) was also on this course, so I felt quite confident of winning. "I'm happy to have the Queen's trophy as I have won the King's Cup before when it was a local event," said Chawalit, who earned $47,550 for his third Asian Tour success.
