Bangkok (The Press Association) - South African James Kamte marked his Asian Tour debut in the best possible fashion after a final round of 66 saw him win the Asian Tour International by two shots in Bangkok.

Kamte's five-under-par effort was enough to surpass overnight leader Tetsuji Hiratsuka as he finished on 16 under par at at the Suwan Golf and Country Club.

He birdied his opening two holes and overcame a dropped shot at the fifth with three more birdies coming back to hold off Japan's Hiratsuka.
