Thi-ti-phun? He was very good. He hits it very short and playing on this golf course the way he did, it was pretty phenomenal. He has such a good short game and a good putting stroke. I was very impressed with what I saw and he managed to grind out a score,\u201d said Schwartzel.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>A joint runner-up cheque of US$84,750 has pushed Thitiphun into 21stposition on the Asian Tour\u2019s Order of Merit. His previous best finish on Tour was joint third place at last year\u2019s Indonesian Masters, where he enjoyed the privilege of playing with eventual champion Lee Westwood, and the Venetian Macau Open in October.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>Thitiphun showed little nerves playing in the last group as he thrilled the local galleries with some glorious golf. He holed out from the bunker on 11 in the final round for eagle and missed a birdie chance on the last for sole second place.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>\u201cI\u2019m so proud with how I played because I played with one of the best players in the world. The way he (Schwartzel) handles himself was fantastic. This is a great feeling for me,\u201d said a beaming Thitiphun.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>\u201cCharl handles himself very well and he is very patient on the golf course. This is something which I\u2019m working on with my psychologist as well.&nbsp; We are getting there.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>I\u2019m happy with my round but slightly disappointed I didn\u2019t finish second alone. I\u2019m going to play with more confidence now and this will be an inspiration for me because I want to win on the Asian Tour,\u201d said the youngster, who is nicknamed \u201cTotem\u201d by his friends because he likes to take things slow and easy.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>Watson, who signed off with a superb 65 in his debut at Thailand\u2019s most prestigious championship, was also impressed with the talent on tap on the Asian Tour.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>\u201cThe talent is so good across the world. It is a global game. As players, we do not look over and see where the player is from. We just see a good player and try to beat them. It is not really just one. Any given week any player can do what Schwartzel did today. Obviously \u2018Bank\u2019 (Arnond Vongvanij) was hurt but he is a good talent and he will be a star coming up,\u201d said Watson.<\/p>\n<p><strong>By Indian Sports News Network<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Kuala Lumpur<\/strong>: The name may be a tongue-twister for many but Thailand\u2019s Thitiphun Chuayprakong looks set to become the latest young star to emerge from the Asian Tour.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>The 20-year-old impressed many during a gallant run at the star-studded Thailand Golf Championship where he finished tied second with reigning Masters Tournament champion Bubba Watson.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12244","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-world-golf-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Thitiphun tipped for great things, says Schwartzel - IndianSportsNews.com - Latest Updated Sports News &amp;
