Australian Wade Ormsby claimed his maiden Asian Tour title at the Panasonic Open India Sunday, holding off Thai veteran Boonchu Ruangkit by just one stroke.

Ormsby overcame a triple bogey on the third hole to shoot a final round one-under-par 71 and win the $300,000 tournament.

"I've played tournaments worldwide but to finally get a win in Asia is fantastic," said Ormsby in comments supplied by the organizers.

Boonchu, who at age 56 was trying to become the oldest winner in Asian Tour history, seemed on course but the bogey on the 16th put paid to his hopes.

"Conditions were really tough out there the entire week. But to be able to play the way I did even at 56 years old really says a lot about my game," said Boonchu.
