Savvy caddie helps Kevin cash in

American Kevin Techakanokboon closed with a 2-over 73 on Sunday to hold off Japan's Yuwa Kosaihira and win his first pro title at the Zhuhai Championship, the penultimate event of this year's PGA Tour Series-China.

With Malaysian pro Arie Irawan serving as his caddie and offering sage advice, Techakanokboon parred the last seven holes at Orient Golf Club to finish 4-under overall, one ahead of 20-year-old Kosaihira (69) - now third on the order of merit - and two clear of money leader Charlie Saxon (72) of the US, who led after the first and second rounds.

Chinese amateur Chen Yilong (71) shared fourth with Korea's Todd Baek (72), who played in the final group with Saxon and Techakanokboon, while China's He Zeming (71) shared sixth with New Zealand's Luke Toomey (68) at even par.
