Scott Hend survived a sterling comeback attempt from Piya Swangarunporn to claim the True Thailand Classic 2016 crown on Sunday after carding a fourth-round 68 to finish the tournament 18 under par.
The Australian headed into the final two holes level with Thai underdog Swangarunporn, but a birdie on the 17th saw him recover his lead before coping with a pressure shot on the 18th to finish one stroke ahead.
Sunday's triumph served as sweet redemption for last year's competition, where Hend finished joint-second and just one shot behind compatriot Andrew Dodt.
