If you thought age is a barrier for giving your best shot in the game of Golf, think again. Thailand’s 50-year-old Golf veteran Thaworn Wiratchant defies the dictum that age can prove to be dampener when you compete on a global platform.

                                      Thaworn also became the first player to hit 400 Asian Tour appearances in 2015

Thaworn sealed his place in Asian Tour history by becoming the oldest Order of Merit champion at the age of 45 years and 354 days in 2012 following three victories in Thailand, Malaysia and India that year.

Thaworn also became the first player to hit 400 Asian Tour appearances in 2015.

Now, the 50-year-old Golfer is looking to ride on his rich vein of form in the Shinhan Donghae Open that kicks off tomorrow.

“I’ve been playing on the Senior Tour in Europe since I turned 50.  It was a new experience for me as the playing conditions are very different. The yardages of the golf courses are also shorter for old men like us (laughs) and I’ve been learning to adapt to these new playing experiences. But it’s always nice to come back and play on the Asian Tour where I’m more familiar with the conditions. Hopefully, I can win again,” says Thaworn.

Meanwhile, India’s Jeev Milkha Singh, who won his first professional tournament at the Shinhan Donghae Open in 1994, is hoping to revive his winning memories.
