Thailand's Thaworn Wiratchant claimed his 11th Asian Tour victory, with a commanding six-shot triumph in Macau at the US $500,000-dollar full-field event at the Macau Golf and Country Club.

Thaworn charged home with a closing three-under-par for a four-day total of 15-under-par 269 to India's Gaganjeet Bhullar, who added the growing reputation as the rising star in Asian golf. Gaganjeet Bhullar powered his way to a final round 66 to finish in second place on 275, behind the seasoned veteran Thaworn Wiratchant. Matthew Griffin from Australia surged up the leaderboard with an eagle on the second hole to share third place with South African Keith Horne on 278. Taiwan's Lin Wen-hong and Yoshinobu Tsukada of Japan ended their campaign in fifth position on 279.

Thaworn Wiratchant victory left him one title short of equaling the Asian Tour record of 12 career wins, set by his compatriot Thongchai Jaidee, but the 42-year-old said he was confident of overtaking his countryman.
