Queenslander Andrew Dodt carded a 5-under 67 in the final round of the True Thailand Classic presented by Black Mountain to snatch his second European Tour win.

With much of the focus on fellow Aussie and big-hitting Scott Hend, the overnight leader, and the much-fancied Thongchai Jaidee and Miguel Angel Jiménez, who both started the day one stroke back, Dodt was under the radar at the start of the final round at Black Mountain Golf Club in Hua Hin.

However, three consecutive birdies to start lifted him into the mix, and he stayed steady while his opponents faltered, with Hend posting an even par 72, Jaidee a 71 and Jiménez a 73.

"I was really switched on as I wanted to get off to a fast start," said Dodt.

"Those three early birdies really got the momentum going and I hung in after that."

"The winds picked up on the back nine and it got pretty tricky towards the end – I tried to play as sensibly as I could."

Jaidee had an eagle putt on the last to win, but he left it ten feet short and missed the birdie attempt which would have forced a play-off, leaving Dodt, who had already finished at 16 under par.

Dodt first earned his European Tour card after winning the Asian Tour co-sanctioned Avantha Masters in 2010.

He competed fulltime on the European Tour until the end of 2013 when he lost his status.

Dodt returned home to the PGA Tour of Australasia where his come from behind win at the Isuzu QLD Open reignited his winning form.

"Losing my card on The European Tour was probably a good thing two years ago because it really knocked me down, made me work harder and want to do well again," added Dodt.

"I did that towards the end of last year and that form has carried over to the start of this year."

At the end of last year Dodt regained his European Tour status via Qualifying School and has continued his winning ways this week in Thailand. He has now secured his card until the end of 2017.
