American golfer Sihwan Kim swept his second tournament in two months on Saturday, winning the Asian Mixed Stableford Challenge in Thailand as local teen sensation Ratchanon Chantananuwat suf-fered disappointment after his record-breaking vic-tory last week.

Sixty players from the men’s Asian Tour and Ladies European Tour teed off in the $750,000-prize tournament which wrapped up Saturday at Siam Country Club’s Waterside Course near Pattaya. Kim scored seven points in the final round for a 49 point total, under the modified stableford scoring system.

He had a rollercoaster Saturday with six birdies, two bogeys and a double. After sealing the win, he was splashed with wa-ter bottles to mark the Thai New Year Songkran festival. “My putting has just been phenomenal, that’s pretty much what got me through it,” Kim said.

The 33-year-old has been in fine form — winning his maiden Asian Tour victory last month at Hua Hin Thailand, but had previously not won a title since turning professional in 2011.

The event’s leading lady was rising Swedish star Maja Stark, 22, coming in second place with a total score of 47 after notching up one eagle and four birdies on Sunday.—APP
