Baisoya is one of the four Indians who finished in the Top-10 in the Asian Tour event which is co-sanctioned by the Indian Golf Premier League (IGPL).
Thailand’s Poosit Supupramai emerged winner by one shot from hard-charging Korean Wooyoung Cho at the Kensville Golf Resort.

Poosit’s closing 69 gave him his maiden Asian Tour win with a tournament total of 18-under par 270 while Cho (65) finished a shot behind on 17 under 271. The win also secured the Asian Tour card for Poosit.
