Talented Thai golfer Jazz Janewattananond completed a turnaround in his career claiming his maiden Asian Tour title when he shot a four-under-par 67 in the final round at the US$300,000 Bashundhara Bangladesh Open on Saturday. Jazz faced little challenge on his way to the title having started the final round with a four-shot advantage and completed the victory with a total 17-under-par 267.
Jazz was delighted to get his career back on track after failing to keep his Asian Tour card for the first time in his career last season when he finished 63rd on the Order of Merit.
He returned to the Qualifying School last month but did not manage to secure his card. "I have been waiting for this win for so long. I started playing on the Asian Tour when I was an amateur at 14. It's just a huge relief that I managed to get the job done," said Jazz, will take home a winner's prize purse of US$54,000. Home hero Siddikur Rahman flew his country's flag, emerging as the best-placed local player in second place following a 66 on what is the third leg of the Asian Tour schedule this season.
