Thailand pair prove too strong

Thai hotshots Thongchai Jaidee and Prayad Marksaeng put on an exhibition of golf with a final-round eight-under-par 64 in the foursomes to win the Fortis International Challenge in Kuala Lumpur yesterday. Thailand finished the qualifying event for November's Omega Mission Hills World Cup in Shenzhen with a 30-under-par 258 aggregate, three shots clear of the Netherlands' Maarten Lafeber and Robert-Jan Derksen, who closed with a 67. The top five teams qualified. Hong Kong's James Stewart and Wong Woon-man finished joint 11th, 22 shots back after their final round of 72.
