Jazz to vie for Singha Chiang Mai Open title

World number 74 Jazz Janewattananond will lead the challenges at the 2-million baht Singha Chiang Mai Open 2019 to tee off at Maejo Golf Resort & Spa on Thursday.

It will be his second attempt on All Thailand Golf Tour (ATGT) this year after finishing 5th at the season-opening Boonchu Ruangkit Championship in January. In his first nine events this year, Jazz has produced impressive results, getting five top-5 finishes including wining the Singapore Open.

Former champions Chapchai Nirat (2014) and Thammanoon Sriroj (2013) and Namchok Tantipokhakul, who won in the Philippines last week, are also going to vie for the top-prize of 300,000 baht.

Top-contenders at the tournament, the fifth leg of the 2019 season, also include Tirawat Kaewsiribandit, Udorn Duangdecha, Chawalit Plaphol and Chanachok Dejpiratanamongkol

Supported by Bangkok Glass, the hole-in-one prize of 100,000 baht is always available at the par-three 17th hole. The final two rounds will be live on Truesport 5 at 1.00pm.
