Playing a stableford format, the professionals will play 90-holes of competitive golf over Lake View Resort & Golf Club, Springfield Royal Country Club, Banyan Golf Club and Black Mountain Golf Club, for a total prize fund in excess of $81,000, with first place taking a check for $19,020.
“I am very happy with my round, I hadn’t had a scorecard in my hand for five months so it feels really weird to go on a golf course without having played in a tournament or competition for a while so I was really pleased,” said Günther following his round.
“I think Hua Hin is a great tourist destination, especially for golfers. The courses are all really unique and definitely a worth coming out to play”.
