Kolon Korea Open: Sadom prevails after titanic head-to-head battle with Poom
Thailand’s Sadom Kaewkanjana put an end to a three-year wait for another victory on the Asian Tour today after winning the Kolon Korea Open – here on the unforgiving Dunes Course La Vie Est Belle golf club.
The name of the club means ‘life is beautiful’ and Sadom will certainly feel that today after prevailing following a gripping, see-saw battle with his countryman Poom Saksansin.
He closed with a combative one-under-par 70, on the long and demanding Dunes Course, to beat Poom by two shots in Korea’s flagship event.
Sadom finished the tournament on seven under, with third-round leader Poom closing with a 73.
The victory also means he has secured a place in The Open at Royal Portrush in July as this week’s event is part of the Open Qualifying Series.
