Laopakdee seizes Asia-Pacific Amateur crown with stunning comeback

The 20-year-old Thai golfer closed with a composed final-round 68 for a 72-hole total of 15-under-par 273, forcing a tie with Japan’s 16-year-old sensation Taisei Nagasaki, who went into the final day with a fivestroke lead.

The pair, who played together in the final group, went head-to-head in a tense, sudden-death playoff that had the fans on edge.

On a warm afternoon with the greens firming up and pace quickening, Laopakdee held his nerve, carding three straight birdies over holes 17, 18, and 17 again to clinch the title after Nagasaki narrowly missed a birdie chance on the third extra hole.

Laopakdee’s steady rounds of 66, 69, 70, and 68 reflected both his resilience and determination.
