Bangkok, 11 October - Suradit Yongcharoenchai, 15, came from 10 strokes behind to stun the pacesetters in the men's category of the Singha Thailand Amateur Open at Panya Indra Golf Club.
Suradit shot a seven-under-par 65 with eight birdies and one bogey to finish on 281 alongside Poom Saksansin (70) and Jorome Ng (71) of Singapore after 72 holes in Thailand's oldest golf tournament.
The teenager then went on to win the title by making a birdie at the first play-off hole, winning the King Rama VII trophy.
"I am really proud to be successful at this prestigious tournament," said Suradit from Nakhon Pathom. "It is a great present for my birthday on Oct 28."
Jordan Surya Irawan of Indonesia, who had led in the previous two rounds, had a day to forget when he closed with a disastrous 79 for 285 and finished tied for 10th.
