\"LahiriSamui, Thailand: India’s Anirban Lahiri faltered at the last hurdle as he carded four-over-75 on the last day to finish at tied 10th at the Queen’s Cup here on Sunday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lahiri dropped no less than three bogeys and a double bogey in his five-over 41 for the front nine. Birdies on 15th and 18th just about ensured a top-10 for Lahiri.<\/p>\n

Rahil Gangjee also suffered a setback on the final with five-over 76 that saw him drop to tied 47th.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile Prayad finally tamed the beast of Samui when he edged out compatriot Arnond Vongvanij by three shots to win the Cup.<\/p>\n

Having come close with three top-three finishes since the Queen\u2019s Cup made its debut on the Asian Tour in 2009, Prayad was seeking his first victory at the Santiburi Samui Country Club and he showed his resolve by closing with a eagle to win with a final round four-under-par 67.<\/p>\n

Arnond applied the pressure on Prayad by firing two birdies in his last three holes but it was not enough to catch the 47-year-old veteran who signed off with a four-day total of 14-under-par 270.<\/p>\n

Arnond enjoyed his second top-10 finish of the season by carding a 69 to take second place while Japan\u2019s Daisuke Kataoka posted a 68 to secure third place with a 275 total.<\/p>\n

Backed by the passionate home crowd at the Santiburi Samui Country Club, Prayad started the day in second place, one shot behind Bangladesh\u2019s Siddikur.<\/p>\n

He stumbled with an opening bogey but birdied holes four and six to take over the lead.<\/p>\n

Prayad dropped another shot on the seventh but a spectacular eagle-three on the eighth hole saw him extend his advantage to two at that stage.<\/p>\n

When Arnond bogeyed the par-four 12th, Prayad was confident that he would finally lay claim to the Queen\u2019s Cup\u2019s trophy.<\/p>\n

After making nine straights pars starting from the ninth hole, Prayad then savoured a well-deserved victory with a closing eagle-three on the 18th hole.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen Arnond bogeyed the 12th, I had a feeling that this would be my week. I\u2019ve been struggling with injuries for so long and I finally got my game together this year,\u201d said Prayad.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve come so close to winning here but couldn\u2019t finish the job previously. So obviously this win really means a lot to me,\u201d added Prayad.<\/p>\n

Arnond came into the final round hoping to add the Queen\u2019s Cup to the King\u2019s Cup which he won during his rookie year last season.<\/p>\n

Starting his round in third place, the 24-year-old tried to stage a comeback with two birdies and a bogey in his opening front-nine.<\/p>\n

He dropped another shot on the 12th and despite a late charge with two late birdies in the last three holes, it was not enough to pip Prayad on a day where he was at his best.<\/p>\n

\u201cI tried to go out there and do my best. The conditions were really difficult today. I hung on as well as I could but Prayad putted and hit the ball really well today. He\u2019s a deserving winner,\u201d said Arnond.<\/p>\n

Having held the lead for two rounds, Kataoka was looking for his career breakthrough on the region\u2019s premier Tour this week.<\/p>\n

However he posted his week\u2019s highest score of 74 in the third round and found himself five shots back of the leader, heading into the final round.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old dug deep to haul back into contention with a bogey-free outward-nine that was highlighted by birdies on holes five and six.<\/p>\n

He then mixed three birdies against two bogeys in his homeward run to settle for yet another third place finish.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe winds were really swirling today and I found it difficult. I was hoping to win as I came into this week really feeling confident. But I\u2019ll try again. Two third-placed finishes in Indonesia and Thailand are still okay,\u201d said Kataoka.<\/p>\n

Sanctioned by the Asian Tour and Thailand PGA, the Queen\u2019s Cup is held in honour of Her Majesty, Queen Sirikit and is one of four tournaments in Thailand to feature on the Asian Tour, which is celebrating its milestone 10th season after establishing itself as a players\u2019 organisation in 2004.<\/p>\n

The weekend rounds of the Queen\u2019s Cup was broadcast live on True Sport and will also feature on the Asian Tour Golf and Highlights show.<\/p>\n
