Mo ends 12-year drought with Thai win

Korea's Mo Joong-kyung claimed a three-shot victory at the Singha Thailand PGA Championship at Chiang Rai yesterday to end a 12-year title drought on the Asian Tour. The 36-year-old held off challenges of Filipino Juvic Pagunsan and local hero Prayad Marksaeng with a superb final round of seven-under-par 65 to claim the first prize of US$47,550. It wasn't quite a stroll for overnight leader Mo as Pagunsan battled brilliantly on the back nine to stay hot on the Korean's heels before settling for the runner-up place following a 68.
