Kevin Yuan and Wollongong’s Travis Smyth have finished in a share of 3rd place at the Asian Tour’s Mandiri Indonesia Open at the Pondok Indah Golf Club in Jakarta.
The pair were tied at 16 under and a massive eight shots from the winner, Suteepat Prateeptienchai of Thailand.
Smyth had started the final round three shots off the then pace set by Malaysian Shahriffuddin Arrifin, but a round of 70 saw him lose ground as the Thai golfer stormed home with a final round of 64 to win by seven.
Yuan stormed home from near the cutline on Friday with consecutive weekend rounds of 66 to finish in a share of third place with Smyth.
Yuan is now in 10th place on the Asian Tour Order of Merit and Smyth 13th, the current leader amongst the Australians on the Asian Tour in 2025 being the New Zealand Open winner, Ryan Peake, who stands in 6th place despite a run of disappointing finishes since his emotional win in Queenstown.
