Kiradech Aphibarnrat is back for more cash after posting a T25 his first time around Regnum Carya in 2016 and a T6 last year.

The Thai posted two rounds in the 60s and another under par in 2016 when he ranked 10th in driving accuracy and 13th in putts per round. In 2017, Aphibarnrat was seventh in putts and top 25 in the main ball striking categories on the way to 66-67-66-71 to finish four off the lead.

Aphibarnrat also rolls into the Turkish Airlines Open fresh off a T4 last week in China and a T33 at the CIMB Classic prior. All eight rounds in those two events were under par.

He’s also fresh as far as rest goes as this will be just his third event in the last seven weeks.

Aphibarnrat is right on the cusp of the top 10 in the Race to Dubai. He already won this year at the World Super 6 Perth, as well as on the Asian Tour, so he knows how to get it done on Sunday.

He ranks 37th in strokes gained tee to green and 13th in strokes gained around the green on the season.
