April 18 (Reuters) - Fifteen-year-old Thai Phachara Khongwatmai will make his Asian Tour debut at next week's Indonesian Masters, hoping to steal some limelight from former world number one Lee Westwood and Dane Thomas Bjorn.
Phachara, whose name in Thai means 'diamond', first grabbed headlines when he won the 2013 Hua Hin Open as an amateur.
He turned professional last August before becoming the youngest winner on the Asian Development Tour, which serves as the feeder circuit to the Asian Tour, last month.
"I started playing golf when I was nine years old," said Phachara, who earned his Tour card through qualifying school in January.
