The best Thai golfer at the Mexican Open

The event took place at Vidanta Vallarta par71 with a prize fund of 7.3 million USD.

In the first round of the par3 5th hole, Aphibarnrat over three days lost a total of only five strokes, of which the first shot was 188 yards from the pennant but scored a hole-in-one.

Round 2, he used two strokes – the shot didn’t reach the green. Even so, the 32-year-old still finished the hole after a chip nearly 30 meters from the flag.

Round 3 on April 30, Aphibarnrat birdie again on hole 5. This time, the organizers set a distance of 217 yards. He hit the green and then a putt 5.4 meters away. And so, Aphibarnrat’s 5th hole compound score is at -4. However, after three games, he scored -6 due to erratic form in other holes.

With this result, Aphibarnrat stood at T30 and ended the title race when Jon Rahm kept the top of the table with -15 points. Rahm is leading T2 by two strokes and behind T2 there are 20 players in the range of -12 to -8.

Aphibarnrat has been playing professionally since 2008, so far has not won after 95 PGA Tour tournaments, but has won four DP World Tour championships (the new name of the European Tour from 2022). He is the first Thai player in the US first-class golf arena, often makes jokes and is real player in everyday life.

Everyone can guess what this golfer rides by his clothes. If he’s wearing a suit, he’s definitely wearing a Ferrari, if it’s a blazer, it’s a Nissan GT-R, if it’s slippers, it’s a Honda Civic.

Besides cars, Kiradech also has a huge shoe collection with hundreds of pairs. He even had to rent a separate apartment to store shoes.
