Celebrated Bangladeshi golfer Siddikur Rahman, who briefly held the lead on the back nine, settled for a disappointing 72 to share third place with Thai golfer Donlapatchai Niyomchon (68) on the 4th and last day of the Queen's Cup Golf at Santiburi Samui Country Club in Thailand on Sunday, reports UNB.
Siddikur, who advanced to the 2nd place on the 3rd day scoring 64 with seven under par, having seven birdies and without any bogey scoring 202, spent a worse 4th day (Sunday) with one over par making one birdie and two bogeys to settle for the joint 3rd slot scoring total 274 with 10 under par.
EurAsia Cup star Siddikur was disappointed as he let victory slip from his grasp and was kicking himself with a closing bogey that dropped him into a share of third place, according to Asian Tour.
In an immediate reaction, Siddikur said "Everything was bad (today). It was very disappointing, especially on 18. I still had a chance to get a birdie but unfortunately I got a bogey. It made a big difference. The ball didn't want to go in… It's okay; it's part of the game."
Veteran Thai golfer Thaworn Wiratchant came from five shots back to win an unprecedented 17th Asian Tour victory with a classy one-stroke triumph at the Queen's Cup on Sunday.
The 47-year-old Thaworn holed a five foot birdie putt on the closing hole to pip overnight leader Poom Saksansin with a final round of five-under-par 66 to lift the Queen's Cup Golf for the second time in three years.
Thai rookie Poom, who had led since the opening day, settled for the runner-up spot in the US$300,000 tournament after a closing 72.
