It seems fitting that the most unpredictable tournament on the European Tour schedule played host to one of the more unexpected outcomes of the season.
Kiradech Aphibarnrat didn't commit to playing the ISPS Handa World Super 6 Perth until last week, and he showed up in Australia having never seen the host course. After 54 holes of stroke play, the Thai was the final survivor of a nine-man playoff simply to get into the match-play portion of the event, then went on to win five straight six-hole matches for his first European Tour title since 2015.
Aphibarnrat defeated Ben Eccles, Yusaku Miyazato, Sean Crocker and Lucas Herbert to reach Sunday's final at Lake Karrinyup Country Club.
