Bangkok: Thai golf veteran Thongchai Jaidee will have one last chance to battle his way into the world’s top-50 before the year is over when he tees up for the Boonchu Ruangkit Championship from December 22-25 at the Rancho Charnvee Resort and Country Club in Thailand.<\/p>\n
Having failed to finish in 12th place or better at the recently concluded UBS Hong Kong Open, the Asian Development Tour (ADT) season-ending event offers Jaidee the ultimate hope to break into the top-50, which will pave his way in qualifying for all the Majors and World Golf Championships in 2017.<\/p>\n
“I’ve one more week at the Boonchu Ruangkit championship and I hope to do well then. I’m going to take a rest at home but also spend some time at the gym to build up my physical fitness,” world No.52 Jaidee said in an Asian Tour release.<\/p>\n
The 2016 season has been a memorable year for the decorated Thai star. He won the 100th Open de France in July and represented his country in the Olympics and the World Cup of Golf.<\/p>\n
The 47-year-old was however plagued by his putting woes in Hong Kong which put a dent on his title ambitions and ranking hopes last week.<\/p>\n
“My iron play was very solid as I didn’t miss too many fairways. But unfortunately, my putting was not. I missed too many putts. It could have easily been a top-10 finish if I put well,” said the three-time Asian Tour Order of Merit champion, who finished tied for 14th in Hong Kong.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
