Meet Sadom Kaewkanjana: The most in-form golfer in the world
Sadom Kaewkanjana has won four times in his last nine appearances on the Asian and Thailand Tours and he is climbing the world rankings.
Sadom Kaewkanjana is probably the best golfer you have never heard of. He is taking the sport by storm in Asia and he excelled yet again at the weekend.
Kaewkanjana won the SMBC Singapore Open by three shots and earned his place at The Open Championship in July. Paul Casey finished tied 16th at the event.
"This is amazing, it wasn’t easy. It has taken a lot of hard work to get here, especially over the last two years. This is a great way to start the year. I hope it’s the start of a great year," said Kaewkanjana after his win.
But this result was just another standard performance in the recent hot streak from the Thai golfer. After finishing tied 8th at the Singha all Thailand Championship in 2021, he was ranked 743rd in the world rankings.
