Thongchai edges past English duo

FINAL LEADERBOARD (GB and NI unless stated):
-12 T Jaidee (Tha)
-10 S Dyson, S Webster, A Noren
-9 R C Bello (Sp), R Bland

Thongchai Jaidee
Jaidee ended his four-year wait for a European Tour win

England's Steve Webster and Simon Dyson had to settle for a share of second place at the Indonesia Open, two shots behind winner Thongchai Jaidee.

The Thai claimed his first European Tour win with a three-under-par final round of 69 to finish on 12 under.

That was two better than the English duo and Sweden's Alexander Noren.

Second-round leader Webster hit four birdies in his final round but was inches short of birdies at the last two holes, which cost him a play-off.

Spain's Rafael Cabrera Bello carded the best round of the final day with a 65 to share fifth place with Richard Bland on nine under, one shot clear of India's Jyoti Randhawa and two more English players, Simon Griffiths and Simon Khan.
