The first day of The Singapore International that is currently being played at the Tanah Merah Country Club on the Tampines Course in Singapore, which is a par 72, was thrilling and enticing to the audience as they sat watching the match unfold the unbelievable happenings of the day. With a prize fund of $1 million, jointly sanctioned by the Asian Tour and Japan Golf Tour Organisation, the tournament will stretch for four days starting today, the thirteenth of January, 2022 and will end on the sixteenth of the same month.

 

The golf match started out smoothly with Janewattananond Jazz throwing his hat in the ring to top the leader board from among all the Thai golfers playing the match, but was soon overtaken by Khongwatmai Phachara who then played in the second position and competed with Harold William of England for the first place. Janewattananond Jazz hit 4 birdies in holes 8, 9, 12 and 13. The game though took a very sudden unexpected turn as India’s Joshi H Khalin dived to the top of the leaderboard with a birdie and a stunning show of game with 5 under par and a total score of 39 till the 10th hole getting Phachara tied with other players for the third place.

 

The other Thailand players where hard at their game as they too tried to climb to the top. Kaewesiribandit Tirawat’s birdies in holes 7 and 8 meanwhile got him tied for sixth place with various others and put him right below Janewattananond Jazz, making him the third best Thai player after Phachara and Jazz.

The leader board tossed the participants from one position to the other as the players tried their ultimate best on the Tampines Course to slowly climb the top or cling to their current positions. Khongwatmai Phachara, who was the best of the Thai players in the golf course and is ranked 197 in the world, stuck fiercely to the third position and tried his best to climb to the top and surpass Joshi H Khalin of India and Harold William of England. He continued to stick to the tie for the third position with a par on the twelfth hole and a total score of 47. While the top two players, Harold William and Joshi H Khalin continued to fight for the top two positions, the leader board continued to switch the players’ positions as they competed with other.    

 

Khongwatmai Phachara meanwhile went down to a tie for the 11th place along with Kaewesiribandit Tirawat, getting Janewattananond Jazz back to being the best of the Thai players on the course in today’s match who was at a tie for the 6th place one under par. Tangkampolprasert Pavit too was tied for the sixth position along with Jazz. A birdie on the 17th hole and tremendous game-play by Boonma Danthai got him rolling up to a tie on the 20th position with a score of 73.

The end of today’s tournament was a memorable one as Janewattananond Jazz and Tangkamolprasert Pavit  of Thailand proved their worth to their team by placing one under par 71 tied for the fifth position along with Keyser Mathiam of South Africa. The other Thailand players were not far below them as Boonma Danthai, Khongwatmai Phachara and Wannasrichan Rattanon  were all tied for the twentieth position, one above par 73.

 

All-in-all, the day’s proceeding were electrifying as the players shot their shots to emerge with a title and a meaningful match that gave them a lot to experience and a whole lot more to show to the world when it comes to Golf.
