June 14 (Reuters) - South Korean Kim Kyung-tae won the battle of nerves in his final-round duel against younger compatriot Wang Jeung-hun to win the Thailand Open by three strokes on Sunday.
Kim carded a seven-under-par 65 in the final round to surge ahead of Wang (67) in the closing holes for a final total of 21-under in the $1 million tournament co-sanctioned by OneAsia and the Japan tours.
The Korean led by a single stroke going into the final hole but while his 19-year-old opponent succumbed to a bogey, Kim calmly holed his putt for a birdie.
