Thailand's rising star Kiradech Aphibarnrat believes his "birth" on the Asian Tour has made him the winner he always wanted to be following his biggest career victory at the Maybank Malaysian Open last weekend.
The 23-year-old showed he can match the best in the world when he outplayed the likes of Major winners such as South Africa's Charl Schwartzel and Ireland's Padraig Harrington as well as Ryder Cup star Edoardo Molinari of Italy to lift the Seagram Trophy.
With his winner's prize cheque of US$458,330, Kiradech propelled to the top of the Asian Tour's Order of Merit - a position where he is determined to be in when the season comes to a close at the end of the year.
"It's the Tour [Asian Tour] where I was born. I'm 24 this year and I've got another 20 years to play. I'll try to win as much as I can. I've three Tours to play on now [Asian Tour, Japan Tour, European Tour] and my focus will be to win the Asian Tour Order of Merit," said Kiradech
"I'll try to win a Major event. I cannot say when it is but I'll try my best. I just play for fun. I don't have any routine," said Kiradech.
