Thongchai Jaidee capped a magical season and continues to establish himself as one of Asia’s greatest players. He claimed his 11th and 12th titles on the Asian Tour with victories at the Enjoy Jakarta Indonesia Open and Ballantine’s Championship in Korea, making him the player with the most wins on the Asian Tour.
Besides being officially crowned as Asia’s new number one for a record third time, the popular Thai also swept aside the Lowest Stroke Average with 69.06 and topped the career earnings, breaking the US$3 million barrier
Total 2009 earning : USD981,931.80 and he is now breaking into the world’s top-50.
Again and similar to Jeev and Weng Chong, as an undisputed champion in Asia, he only can match Scott McCarron(picture) who is number 92 in LPGA in 2009 career earning. To make it worst, he earned slightly higher than Michele Wie in LPGA who is 15th in LPGA with total earning of USD$918,659. (as at todate Wie still incharge with -7 in day two in Omega Dubai Ladies Masters)
Frankly speaking, for me it is an insult to Asian Tour generally!!
