His win shot him up to the top of the Order of Merit and he also earned six Official World Golf Ranking points.<\/p>\n<p>The Malaysian, who has been struggling with a back injury in the last three seasons, has rediscovered some of his best form after playing and winning on the ADT.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had a fantastic round today. This week was great fun although it felt very different from the week in Chinese Taipei two weeks ago. I\u2019ve been trying to finish as low as I could and I\u2019m glad I managed to find my momentum as I get more and more comfortable with the golf course,\u201d said a humbled Steel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo me, age is just a number but it does feel good to beat the younger players out here. I\u2019m taking a four to five hours drive back to Kuala Lumpur later and rewarding myself with a good dinner!\u201d added the 42-year-old.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Kokocinski is happy with a tied second place result which came as a timely confidence boost.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had a good week and I\u2019m happy with how I played although there were a couple of ups and down. Finishing in tied second this week has definitely boosted my confidence,\u201d said the 22-year-old Swede.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m heading back home to Sweden for a break before coming back to compete again. Hopefully I can produce more great results before the season ends,\u201d added Kokocinski.<\/p>\n<p>The top three players to finish on the ADT Order of Merit at the end of this season will receive Asian Tour cards for 2014.<\/p>\n<p>All ADT events receive OWGR points, which will be used to determine the field for the World Cup of Golf in Melbourne in November and the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.<\/p>\n<p>The PGM Terengganu Masters is co-sanctioned with the Professional Golf of Malaysia.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the ADT, please visit www.asiandevelopmenttour.com.<\/p>\n<p>Leading final round scores:<\/p>\n<p>271 \u2013 Iain STEEL (MAS) 70-68-70-63<\/p>\n<p>272 \u2013 Rory HIE (INA) 69-67-71-65, Malcolm KOKOCINSKI (SWE) 71-67-67-67, Airil Rizman ZAHARI (MAS) 65-67-72-68<\/p>\n<p>275 \u2013 Mhark Fernando (PHI) 72-67-71-65, Scott Barr (AUS) 68-72-69-66, Shaaban HUSSIN (MAS) 69-68-68-70<\/p>\n<p>276 \u2013 Darren TAN (AUS) 65-67-76-68, Rufino BAYRON (PHI) 70-67-71-68, Grant JACKSON (ENG) 69-67-68-72<\/p>\n<p>277 \u2013 Kenneth DE SILVA (MAS) 71-69-71-66, Carl SANTOS-OCAMPO (PHI) 70-69-71-67, Nabil ABDUL (AUS) 67-69-70-71<\/p>\n<p>278 \u2013 Haziq HAMIZAN (MAS) 70-71-70-67, Nicholas PUA (MAS) 70-69-70-69, R.
