Labuan, Malaysia: South Africa\u2019s Mathiam Keyser mounted a strong comeback with a final round two-under-par 70 to clinch his second Asian Development Tour win at the PGM Labuan Championship on Saturday.<\/p>\nLabuan, Malaysia: South Africa\u2019s Mathiam Keyser mounted a strong comeback with a final round two-under-par 70 to clinch his second Asian Development Tour win at the PGM Labuan Championship on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Keyser\u2019s winning total of six-under-par 282 was enough to hand him a two-shot victory over Thailand\u2019s Sorachut Hansapiban at the Labuan International Golf Club where the RM200,000 (approximately US$44,600) ADT event was staged.<\/p>\n
Thailand\u2019s Panuwat Muenlek, who held a share of the overnight lead, finished in tied-third together with Sweden\u2019s Oskar Arvidsson after he closed with a 75 for a 285 total.<\/p>\n
Having started the week on the back of two successive victories in Dubai, Keyser was quietly confident of his chances despite the course layout which the South African felt was his disadvantage.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a very tight golf course and it doesn\u2019t really favour me as I like to use the driver and driving is usually my strength,\u201d said Keyser.<\/p>\n
Keyser stumbled with an opening bogey on the par-four first but recovered quickly with a birdie on the second hole before adding another birdie on nine to turn in 35.<\/p>\n
He parred the next five holes before another birdie on 15 gave him a comfortable two-shot lead with three holes to play.<\/p>\n
Keyser showed great composure by cruising home with three straight pars to lift his second ADT title.<\/p>\n
\u201cI came into the week with lots of confidence as I had won two back-to-back events on the Mena Tour in Dubai before coming over. This win has shown me that all the other aspects of my game is good.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m enjoying my winning run and my golf and that\u2019s what keeping me happy,\u201d said Keyser.<\/p>\n
By featuring on the ADT schedule, the PGM Labuan Championship offered Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) points. Keyser received six OWGR points while the top six players and ties earned points based on a sliding scale.<\/p>\n
