In the final round he countered with a partial of 69 (-3, five birdies, two bogeys) the attempt to come back from sixth position by the American John Catlin, who made a great 65 (-7, eight birdies, five initial in a row, and a bogey), the best score of the round, but it was only enough for the second with 269 (-19).
He was runner up for the second time this season after having signed two titles. The winner was rewarded with 180,000 dollars on a prize pool of one million dollars. In third place with 270 (-18) is the Filipino Miguel Tabuena, who lost his chances with two bogeys after the halfway point, in fourth with 271 (-1/) is the Taiwanese Chieh-po Lee, in fifth with 272 (-16) is the Thai Pavit Tangkamolprasert and in sixth with 274 (-14) are his compatriot Sarit Suwannarut and the Japanese Tomoyo Ikemura.
The Rules of Golf are a set of rules and standard procedures by which the sport of golf should be played. They are jointly written and administered by the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, the governing body of golf throughout the world, except in the United States and Mexico, which are governed by the United States Golf Association.
An expert committee, made up of members of the R&A and the USGA, oversees and refines the Rules every four years. The latest revision was effective January 1, 2016. Changes to the Rules of Golf generally fall into two main categories: those that improve understanding of the Rules and those that reduce penalties in certain cases to ensure balance.
The rulebook, entitled "The Rules of Golf," is published on a regular basis and also includes rules governing amateur status. In Italy, the Federgolf is responsible for supervising competitions by enforcing the rules issued by the R & A, checking that these rules are observed by the Clubs, Associations and their members and managing the resulting sporting justice, protecting their interests abroad.
