It all came down to the 18th when unfortunately Ramayah's approach shot went wide, ending his chances of forcing Sutep into a sudden death play off.

For Ramayah this was such an unfortunate outcome, and echo's the final day of the 2007 ASM @ Malaysian, when Chen Tsang Te from Taiwan managed a final round 68, including a birdie on the 18th, to beat Ramayah, who also birdied the last hole. Chen returned a tour record winning score of 10 under par 206, beating M Ramayah by a single stroke.

Ramayah a regular on the Asian Seniors Tour since its foundation in 2003 and has consistently placed high up on the ASM leader boards, we wish him better luck next year and hope that he might emerge as the first Malaysian to win an Asian Seniors Tour event. Here's to his success at the 2009 ASM @ Malaysia.

The 4th edition of the annual Asian Senior Masters @ Malaysia was undoubtedly the most ambitious event yet, with the various Pro-Ams being staged at different venues, including IOI Palm Garden GC, Glenmarie GCC, Saujana GCC and Tasik Puteri GCC prior to the ASM @ Malaysia championship.

The 2008 ASM @ Malaysia Amateur Champion, Wong Tan Khua shot a commendable 76 to lead the field followed by Hamdan Zambahari shooting 77 coming in 2nd. Defending 2007 ASM @ Malaysia Amateur Champion Wong Pau San along with Chen Yew Beng who both shot 79 came join 3rd. We were most pleased to see so many of the regular ASM @ Malaysia semi-finalists contesting this year's event.

The Asian Seniors Tour moves on to Indonesia for the staging of the inaugural
Asian Senior Masters @ Batam from 21th - 24th October 2008.
