New Taipei City: Kazuki Higa continued his companion on the Asian tour and won the Yeangder TPC in the amount of $ 1 million for his second title in two weeks after 41st Shinhan Donghae Open in Korea on Sunday and took the lead in the order of earnings.
Higa, the top rating in the Linkou International Golf and Country Club this week, was solid in the four rounds and shot a Bogy Free-Vier Oder-PAR-68 in the last round to end with a profit of 17. 271.
The overnight head, American Charles Porter (71), started again with two birdies in his first four holes, but only made it one other place at 15-little 273 to achieve a second place with Wang Wei-Hsuan (67), the best-placed player from Chinese-Taipei, and Thailand’s Rattanon Wannasichan (66).
The Philippines’ Miguel Tabuena (66) and the American Shotaro Ban (68) both ended the last hole for the fifth with -14. Indian duo of Ajeetesh Sandhu and Viraj Madappa (both 68), rounded up the top 10 with Thailands Suteepat Pratepteptiechai (70), Australia’s Travis Smyth (71) and the local amateur Hsieh Cheng-Wie (71).
Hsieh ended Bogey-Bogey, but the 17-year-old’s seventh place was another feather in his hat. It was by far the best performance of an amateur in the championship. The previous best was Wangs 49. In 2017.
Higa, who won the BTI Open in Bangladesh in his debut at the Asian Development Tour (ADT) in 2018, won Porter with a 20-foot bulb putt on 11.
The tournament completely handled Higa’s favor when he has a well-read 12-foot footer for Birdie on the hard Par-4-15. Loch dropped, while Porter made a bogey from the same distance after Porter appeared after he got into difficulties.
Porter could have closed the gap on the 17th hole and would have presented its chances on the long 18th holes of Par-five, but his birdie attempt of less than four feet grazed the hole and missed.
Tournament sponsors Yeangder are also Higa’s personal sponsor and after the round on Saturday he had said that winning the tournament would mean the world for him.
After his Sunday round, Higa said: “It’s a very good feeling, I just made something special.
“From the beginning of the season, my shape was very good. I was often in an argument, but I was only able to win in Japan five weeks ago. There were only a few small things that I had to get better. How the putting got better and there is no more stress from the T shots. This is the reason why we could get these victories.”
In his last round, the 30-year-old from Okinawa said: “On the front we took some good recordings, some good putts hit, but it wasn’t just fell.
Higa won the Merit Order in 2022 on the Japan Golf Tour, but although he took the lead, he did not think about adding an Asian tour crown to his resume.
“It is in the middle of the season, and there are many international series events that are now big events that are now.
Despite the heartache, it was Porter’s best finish on the Asian tour and increased it to 32nd place in the order of earnings.
“I felt particularly from the rhythm of the T -shirts. I will feel like I was in the future and find a way to calm down and simply swing as if I knew how to swing it will be advantageous,” said the 6 -foot -9 -inch porter.
“I just think about how I can learn for the next time. In this game you either win or learn and learn a lot. So I will think about it and I will learn a ton.”
Wang, who had two late bogeys on 14 and 17.
“The three-putt on the 14th and misses this short putt on the 17th was disappointing. But I am still happy to be the best-placed Taiwaner this week. This is also my best result in the tournament. I have exceeded my own expectations.
