HUA HIN, Thailand (AP) -- Scott Hend of Australia shot a final-round 68 to beat Piya Swangarunporn of Thailand by a stroke to win the Thailand Classic at the Black Mountain Golf Course on Sunday.
Hend rolled in five birdies against one bogey for an overall total of 18-under-par 270 to win his second European Tour event.
The Australian, who holed a crucial birdie on the 17th hole to take the lead, says ''I'm very proud to win this title.''
The win marked the 43-year-old golfer's second Asian Tour title in Thailand after the 2013 Chiang Mai Classic and the eighth on the Asian Tour.
