Thailand’s Witchayapat Sinsrang produced an almost flawless round to snatch victory at the Ambassador ADT Open today, his low-round 68 and four-round total of 283 enough to beat fellow countryman Kosuke Hamamoto by a single shot.

A bogey on the final hole was Witchayapat’s only dropped shot for the day, and despite a late birdie by playing partner Hamamoto (69) on the same hole, he had enough advantage to hold on for the win at the challenging Hsin Feng Country Club.

“I’m thrilled to get my first win today,” said Witchayapat after his round. “A big thank you to ADT, our sponsor, and the course—despite the windy conditions, it was in great shape. I tried to play it safe, avoiding any risky shots, and that really helped me stay steady.

“The turning point for me was on the 16th hole. I hit a 3-wood toward the treeline on the right, spotted a gap, and aimed for it. I managed to land the ball about 6 feet from the hole and then made the putt. It really felt like an MVP moment. Unfortunately, I did 3-putt on the last hole, but overall I’m really happy with how I played,” he said.

“I’ve been playing golf since I was 8, and I went to university in Kansas where I got used to playing in the wind. I turned pro in 2020, and my goal is to keep playing ADT events, improve my ranking, and ultimately earn a spot on the Asian Tour. My dream is to play on the PGA Tour, so I’ll continue to work hard and do my best for the future,” he added.

Hamamoto, who had to recover from an opening round score of 75, felt he had improved as the tournament progressed.

“Overall, I felt solid from tee to green today,” he said. “I’ve been working on my putting, and I’m definitely seeing improvement there, which really helped my result. This course is a great test for every part of your game — narrow, windy, and challenging. It forces you to think carefully about each shot. That’s why players like James Chan are so strong here; it’s his home course, and it really suits his game.”

Witchayapat and Hamamoto, playing in the penultimate group, started the day three shots behind leader Minhyeok Yang (74) of Korea, who was unable to get any momentum despite his lead in the US$100,000 Asian Development Tour event.

A bogey on the first hole, and a double just two holes later, meant he made the turn at two over par, finishing on the same score to par after a three birdie, three bogey back nine.

Thammasack Bouahom of Laos, who made a valiant fight back into contention after a disastrous opening round, was also able to gain advantage in the final round. His score of 69 lifted him into a share of third place alongside Thailand’s Nirun Sae-ueng (70).

Ahmad Baig (72) of Pakistan, who was just two shots adrift of Yang at the start of play, was also unable to get his game going. An eagle on the ninth hole rescued him from two bogeys earlier in the round, but he was only able to make par for the back nine for a shared fifth place with Yang.

Ireland’s Kevin Phelan was another of the three low scorers on the day. His bogey-free 68 – with four birdies on the back nine – helped him to a share of seventh place, alongside Hsieh Chi-hsien (72) and Yu Sung-po (72) of Chinese Taipei.

Thailand’s Tanapat Pichaikool (70) secured solo 10th spot followed by fellow Thai Runchanapong Youprayong (73) and first round leader Liu Yung-hua of Chinese Taipei in 11th place. Yeh Chia-yin (71) of Chinese Taipei secured 13th spot.

In 14th place were India’s Khalin Joshi (68), the third of the low scorers of the day, together with Sean Ramos (71) of the Philippines and Hong Kong’s Leon D’Souza (73).

Current Order of Merit leader Rahil Gangee (71) could only manage a share of 19th spot, which means his lead has been cut by Baig as they head into the final two events of the season. Tanapat and Liu remain as they were in third and fourth place respectively while Witchayapat’s win sees him move up into fifth place.

From here, the action moves to Malaysia and the Kota Permai Golf and Country Club for the Toyota Tour Championship. The MYR400,000 event will be held over four rounds from November 20-23.

The final event of the season is the Aramco Invitational Tournament, which will be held at Rolling GHills Golf Club in Saudi Arabia from November 27-30.
