Thailand's Prayad Marksaeng swept to victory on home soil at the Queen's Cup in Koh Samui Sunday shooting a six-under par 65 on a day that proved to be a nightmare for Japan's Akinori Tani.

Prayad's fortunes waxed and waned during round four of the $300,000 Asian Tour title as the 49-year-old made up for three bogeys with nine impressive birdies, comfortably taking the top spot with a final score of 270.
