Two-time Asian Tour title winner Siddikur, who shared 4th place jointly with Viraj Madappa of India carding total seven-under par (70, 71, 68) 209 after the 3rd round matches, made a worse three-over-par 75 to settle for 5th slot.

Suradit Yongcharoenchai of Thailand pocketed his career’s biggest prize cheque by winning Mercuries Taiwan Masters carding 10 under-par 278 with just one-shot victory after his closest rivals.

Suradit, who started his final round at the Taiwan Golf and Country Club one shot back of overnight leaders, Ajeetesh Sandhu of India and Philippines’ Miguel Tabuena, closed with a two-under-par 70 to clinch his breakthrough on the Asian Tour where he made his debut as a 17-year-old in 2015.

Suradit started well with a birdie on his third hole but gave two shots back with a double-bogey six on the next hole. The Thai was quick to make amends when he charged to the turn with three birdies in his next four holes.

But after making another birdie on 13, he dropped a shot on 14 before making four straight pars to sign off with a four-day total of 10-under-par 278.

The Thai was left to wait for close to 30 minutes where he watched the final group in action from the sidelines.

A total of 121 golfers from all over the world were taking part in the meet where the champion will get prize money of $180,000.
