Sources: 9. Developments: 2. Thailand's Fifa Laopakdee secured his second consecutive Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship title at Te Arai Links in New Zealand. The 21-year-old finished at 6-under par, recording a final-round 1-under 70 to claim a three-shot victory. The tournament was defined by a dramatic shift on the 11th hole, where Laopakdee secured a birdie while New Zealander Zack Swanwick suffered a triple bogey. This swing allowed Laopakdee to overcome a deficit and pull ahead of the field. By winning the event for a second year, Laopakdee becomes the first player since Hideki Matsuyama in 2011 to achieve consecutive victories in this championship. As a result of his performance, Laopakdee earned invitations to the 2027 Masters at Augusta National and the 2027 Open Championship at St. Andrews. Following his victory, Laopakdee noted a prior promise from Justin Rose to play a practice round together at the Masters should he qualify again. Australian golfer Kayun Mudadana finished in third place at two under par, following a final-round 67. Swanwick finished in second place after a final-round 75. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-30: Fifa Laopakdee wins back-to-back Asia-Pacific Amateur titles Thai golfer Fifa Laopakdee won his second consecutive Asia-Pacific Amateur title in New Zealand, earning spots in the 2027 Masters and the Open Championship. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/fifa-laopakdee-wins-asia-pacific-amateur-championship ### 2026-10-29: Zack Swanwick takes lead at Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship Zack Swanwick holds a two-shot lead at the Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship in New Zealand, ahead of defending champion Fifa Laopakdee and Cooper Moore. 8 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/fifa-laopakdee-leads-asia-pacific-amateur-championship --- Cite as: Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship tournament.
