PHUKET: Unfancied Richard Lee of New Zealand gave himself a perfect wedding present yesterday when he triumphed in a sudden-death playoff to win the 39th Thai Airways International Thailand Open at the Blue Canyon Country Club here.
Two strokes off the pace at the start of the day, Lee played himself into the playoff by shooting a two-under 70 for a nine-under 279 at the 7,134-yard course. He went on to beat overnight joint leader Scott Barr of Australia, who posted a final round 72, for his first title on the Asian Tour.
