Kuala Lumpur<\/strong>: Brian Locke of the United States dominated the PGM-MIDF-KLGCC Masters with a sensational final round of five-under-par 66 to win by six shots on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Locke outplayed the field from start-to-finish for his biggest and first professional win outside of the United States at the weather-shortened RM180,000 (approximately US$60,000) Asian Development Tour (ADT) event.<\/p>\n

Hsu Mong-nan of Chinese Taipei capped his second successive runner-up finish on the ADT following a 69 while Scotland’s James Byrne and Chang Tse-peng of Chinese Taipei were a further shot back in tied third place at the Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club East course.<\/p>\n

Despite playing in only his second ADT event this season, Locke put on a virtuoso performance where he turned in 34 and romped home with two pairs of birdies for a winning total of 12-under-par 201.<\/p>\n

“It is exciting to win. This is probably my biggest professional win in my career. I won five little events back home. This is the most exciting moment of my golf career, minus the time when I qualified for the US Open last year,” said the 25-year-old Locke.<\/p>\n

“I’m still new in Asia but I hit the ball good and my game was in a good place. This is a really nice golf course and the conditions were very good, which made it easier to score,” he added.<\/p>\n

Locke was unfamiliar with the constant weather delays which forced the tournament to be reduced to 54 holes but he kept a cool head through the week and was rewarded with a winner’s pay cheque of US$10,500.<\/p>\n

“We don’t get much rain back home so this is new for me. We had to wait around two or three hours here and there. I tried to stay focus and hydrated. It took some patience to come in early and finish the round,” said Locke, who turned professional in 2009.<\/p>\n

He missed out on earning an Asian Tour card at the Qualifying School earlier this year but hopes this victory will provide the motivation to a successful attempt at the 2013 Qualifying School.<\/p>\n

“I decided not to go to the PGA Tour Q-School because I’m young and I want to travel the world a bit. I think the Asian Tour provides an overall travelling experience. I’ve been in the states my whole life and I decided I wanted to play the three final three ADT events. I hope I have full status on the Asian Tour next year,” said Locke.<\/p>\n
