Sabai Cup 4 BBB Stableford

Thai Country Club -  Pattana Golf & Country Club Winners Chris Fry and Denver de Zilwa

Again Sabai Lodge donated the trophy as well as 4 nights accommodation to each of the winning pair to come back and defend the trophy. The event was played at Thai Country Club in Bangkok one day and Pattana Golf and Country Club the other day. First day Shaun and Chris were leading the field with 47 points but on the second day at Thai Country Club, Denver and Chris stole the show with 47 points and took the trophy home

Day 1 - Golf Course - Khao Kheow - Winner - Mark Lewis- 41 Points

As a regular visitor to Thailand, its to be expected that if you know the courses, then you should play well, Mark Lewis hasnt played in Thailand before , and  he plays this tricky Pete Dye course with 41 points. Tour regular and fellow "Terrotorian" Shaun Coutts has 40 point and is relegeted into second position. I guess Shaun wont invite Mark back next year !!!

Day 2 - Golf Course - Phoenix- Winner - Denver De Zilwa- 46 Points

Denver has been a regular on tour with us and is a previous tour winner. His 46 points sends a clear message to the field that he wont be up to his usual drinking and having late nights with the boys and is keen for the prize. With the Sabai Cup under his belt already he wants all the trophies. Tour newcomer Graeme Turner sitting in the clubhouse with 42 points would have taken the money except for Denvers exceptional round. 

Day 3 - Golf Course - Burapha- Winner - Craig Green- 41 Points

Craig is a member of one of the finer courses in Melbourne and found the conditions at Burapha just like home.His 41 points was one of three 41 points scores in on the day and he beat Shaun Coutts and Steve Fry on a countback to the winning post.

This was also the first round of The Amazing Thailand Shootout Finals and Graeme "Good Shot" Gibson was the first player to make it to the final three to be played at Siam Plantation later in the week.

Day 4 - Golf Course - Laem Chabang - Winner -Mark Lewis 46 Points

Leading from the start of tournament is always a difficult thing as all eyes are on you . Mark Lewis tears apart Laem Chabang with a round of golf that demoralises the field and places him in an almost unbeatable position.

Laem Chabang is a Jack Nicklaus design and for all the slicers, he puts all the trouble on the right hand side.  Graeme Turner  agin sitting inthe clubhouse with 41 points must wonder what he has to do to win a day prize.

Shootout winner for the day was Paul Tribbia

Day 5 - Golf Course - Siam Plantation - Winner - Sylvia Manning- 39 Points

Only one of five ladies that joined the tour this year, Sylvias round showed the boys how to play this difficult course. After all its is a courses that is played by the LPGA players on the US tour. She had a practise round here on the free day and took all the local knowledge to the podium

Scott Hookey (also with the practice round on the free day) had 37 points and had to be happy with second placed money

Shootout Winner on the day was Scott Hookey

The final shootout was held on the par 3 7th hole in front of the club house between day winners Graem Gibson, Paul Tribbia and Scott Hookey. In regulation play Paul was eliminated, after both Gibbo and Scott sunk pressure putts to put each other into extra time. After a sudden death putt off, Scott Hookey emerged as the Amazing Thailand  Shootout Champion for 2010
