Laguna Phuket Hosts the 2009 Singha Thailand Open

After a three season absence the Thailand Open, one of the region’s most revered golf tournaments, returned to Phuket. The 2009 tournament was staged at the Laguna Phuket Golf Club from 5-8 March, the latest in a series of world-class sporting events held at the integrated resort complex.

Indian star Jyoti Randhawa cruised to a comfortable two-stroke victory at the Singha Thailand Open for his eighth Asian Tour victory.

“I’m feeling great. I played marvellous golf the last two days. To shoot five under without any bogeys was good, I’m very happy,” said Randhawa, whose winning total of 17-under-par 263 earned him a cheque for US$79,250.

The 36-year-old Randhawa produced a flawless five-under-par 65 to hold off Rhys Davies of Wales, who equalled his best performance on Tour with a closing 67 at the Laguna Phuket Golf Club for second place.

 Chinese Taipei’s Lu Wei-chih settled for third position, three behind the winner, after a 65 while S.S.P. Chowrasia of India was tied fourth alongside upcoming Chinese talent Wu Ashun after rounds of 69 and 66 respectively.
