Thailand win The World Corporate Golf Challenge World final 2018

 

 

Team Thailand (Paul Judge and Pim Surintarangoul) arrived early in Cascais Portugal, allowing them to get in a few early practice rounds before the other world finalists arrived.

 

On day one saw Thailand paired with the Czech Republic and got off to solid start scoring 65 points lying in joint 3^rd place behind China on 68 points and Portugal the home team and favourites on 73 points.

 

 

Day two with Thailand eight points behind leaders Portugal, they knew they had to get off to a fast start and they came out flying, by the 16^th hole Thailand were in the lead. Coming down the 18^th the team knew they would probably need four points to clinch it, Paul Judge green side in three shots played an unbelievable shot from the waste bunker and holed the putt for his five securing his two points for the team which would prove vital.

 

China now out the picture after a bad 17^th hole, Portugal needing a birdie and par down the last to tie, this proved too much and meant that Thailand had overcame an eight point deficit to win the World Corporate Golf Challenge Final by two points. Their remarkable score of 80 stableford points as pair, a score never been shot before in 25 years of the WCGC finals

 

Paul Judge part of Thailand winning team said, ‘This has been a truly unbelievable experience, we never thought after being eight shots behind after day one we would be WCGC Champions, Chris Watson our licensee jokingly this morning go out there and get 80 points and we might win it.’ Paul went on to say ‘ Firstly I have to thank my playing partner Pim who was unbelievable all weekend. I also have to thank Fore Management and Chris Watson the Thailand Licensee for giving this opportunity to attend such an amazing event, also Blue Horzion Developments Thailand’s title sponsor and Thai Airways for flying us here all the way from Thailand.

Well done I guess.

No reflection on the two players mentioned or any idea of the handicaps or format for the score but the above could be used as an analogy of why you should never expect to win any of the comps. played around Pattaya..............no matter how well you play

How true , I have seen so called Thai 28 handicappers coming in with 40 / 50 odd points and some shooting mid 70 s off a high handicap . When you watch their swing it is too good ,  gives golf a bad name
