Phachara Khongwatmai

Khongwatmai, whose first name translates as "Diamond", became the youngest winner of a professional tournament when he won the Sing Hua Hin Open on the ASEAN PGA Tour in July 2013 at the age of 14.
Phachara came into prominence when he won the 2015 PGM CCM Rahman Putra Championship to become the youngest Asian Development Tour winner at the age of 15. He came through the Asian Tour Qualifying School shortly after turning professional earlier that year. When he was 14, he won as an amateur to become the youngest player to win a professional tournament in the world. He stole the limelight again by finishing sixth at the prestigious Thailand Golf Championship in December to secure a prized spot at The Open Championship in 2016. His brilliant display at the Thailand Golf Championship pushed him up to 64th place on the Asian Tour Order of Merit where he agonizingly missed his Asian Tour card by one rung. The talented teenager, however, did not give up on his hopes. He won his second ADT title at the season ending Boonchu Ruangkit Championship, which propelled him to fifth place on the ADT Order of Merit to secure his 2016 Asian Tour card.
