Thailand garnered a bountiful of accolades as Thai amateur stars produced a mind-blowing performance to seal their first-ever breakthrough victory at the Nomura Cup in Kuala Lumpur yesterday.

               Kammalas Namuangruk, Sadom Kaewkanjana, Atiruj Winaicharoenchai and Kosuke Hamamoto 

Packed with power performances, Thai stars Kammalas Namuangruk, Sadom Kaewkanjana, Atiruj Winaicharoenchai and Kosuke Hamamoto teamed up to sweep victories in both individual and team events at the 28th edition of the Asia-Pacific Golf Team Championship at the par-72 Sungai Long Golf and Country Club yesterday.

Thailand has always been a force to reckon with in amateur Golf in Southeast Asia, with a long history of success at the SEA Games, but yesterday's victory in Malaysia added a new chapter to the country's amateur profile at the continental level.

The Thai quartet cruised to a massive 14-stroke victory, upstaging two powerhouse nations nine-time champions Japan and 10-time winners Australia -- in the process.

They combined for a 56-under 808 overall, dethroning defending champions Japan, who had to settle for the runners-up spot after finishing on 44-under 280.

Australia came third on 39-under 825, while New Zealand finished fourth on 832, followed by South Korea (840), Taiwan (841) and China (842) respectively.
