KUALA LUMPUR: Thailand's Thaworn Wiratchant has become the first player in Asian golf history to break the US$400,000 mark in earnings in a season, officials said on Tuesday.

The 38-year-old Thaworn finished 13th at last week's Bangkok Airways Open to win $3,216, swelling his season's haul to a record $400,975, the Asian Tour said.

Thaworn, winner of the Standard Chartered Indonesia Open and Taiwan Open this year, remains atop the Asian Tour Order of Merit with six events remaining. -- AFP
