Golf-Veteran Prayad wins second Queen's Cup title

BANGKOK, June 21 (Reuters) - Thai Prayad Marksaeng tamed the challenging Santiburi Samui Country Club to win his ninth Asian Tour title with a two-shot victory at the Queen's Cup on Sunday.

The 49-year-old overturned a three-shot deficit with a final round of six-under-par 65 to pip countryman Thanyakon Khrongpha to the title with a winning total of 14-under-par 270 in the Asian Tour event at Koh Samui.

"To be able to win at 49 years old is just incredible for me. I am very proud of myself," Prayad, also the event's 2013 winner, said after firing nine birdies against three bogeys in his final round.
