Scott Hend has produced a blistering final round 64 to vault more than 20 places up the leaderboard and into the top-10 at the Thailand Open.

Hend, one of the event’s major drawcards, played decent though unspectacular golf over the first three days to lie mid field with 18 holes to go.

But the reigning Asian Tour Order of Merit winner lit the afterburners on Sunday, racing to the turn in 5-under par and adding two more birdies on the inward nine to jump from a share of 28^th to T6.

His 15-under total for the week matched fellow Australian Terry Pilkdaris who posted his first top-10 on the Asian Tour since the Mauritius Open 12 months ago.

Pilkadaris dropped just four shots all week as he posted scores of 67-67-66-69 in what will be a major boost to his confidence.

Five Australians began the week with four making the cut, Scot Barr finishing T20 at 12-under and Marcus Both T51 at 5-under.

Jake Higginbottom was the only Australian not to play the weekend, the Sydneysider missing the cut by two shots after being unable to recover from a disappointing opening round of 2-over 73.
