Midea China Classic Champion Wiratchant records the ninth win and refreshes Asian Tour record

After he won Midea China Classic at the Royal Orchid International Golf Villa September 16, the Thai player Wiratchant got his ninth Asian Tour championship in his career, a new Asian Tour record. In the three-person extension, Wiratchant won this new Asian Tour after defeating his compatriot Phadungsil and the Scottish player Simon Yates, which was his first triumph in this season and since 2005 Masters Vietnam. In 2005, he got four titles in total, including a European tour, and became the top bonus winner of the year. The eight Asian tours that Wiratchant had won were: 1996 Sabah Masters, 2001 Alcatel Singapore Open, 2001 Volvo Masters of Malaysia, 2004 Taiwan Masters, 2005 Indonesia Open (European Tour), 2005 Taiwan Open, 2005 Indonesia Open and 2005 Masters Vietnam. Wiratchant's number of championships has exceeded his compatriot Jaidee. "It feels wonderful to have the ninth title on Asian Tour," Wiratchant said in Thai. "The cast of Asian Tour is stronger than ever. I'm very glad to win today. "I did not expect a win until the last round, so I'm really very happy." Though he fell behind by two shots at the last round, Wiratchant ascended to the tenth place on the bonus list of Asian Tour and got the qualification for HSBC Champions after receiving the championship check of 63,400 US dollars. Simon Yates praised Wiratchant for his performance. "Wiratchant performed excellently, and remained very stable on the green throughout the round. "I'm disappointed in myself. At the Hole-18 green, I tried to attack the green with the second shot but to get a par only. "It the first additional hole, my ball entrapped water. However, I'm very satisfied with myself."
