Thongchai Jaidee enters his second World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship as a potential bracket buster.
We’ve only seen Jaidee once before at Dove Mountain, but his 2010 performance is noteworthy. He won each of his first three matches before falling to eventual champion Ian Poulter. His first round opponent, Sergio Garcia, would be wise not to look past him in the Hogan Bracket Opener. Feb 19 - 10:44 PM

Thongchai Jaidee signed for a 1-over-par 37-36=73 following his opening round of the PGA Championship.

This is a fair effort from a guy that had to withdraw after one round in Akron last week due to a sprained ankle. At the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island today, Jaidee offset three birdies with four bogeys.

Thongchai Jaidee held on for a one-stroke victory at the ISPS Handa Wales Open.

Jaidee slept on a one-stroke lead over Joost Luiten and Ross Fisher, then posted a 1-over-par 39-33=72 in the finale at the Twenty Ten Course and Celtic Manor Resort to secure his fifth career European Tour victory but first on European soil. (All of his previous four wins occurred in Asia -- Malaysia twice; Indonesia; South Korea.) Jaidee made it interesting today, going out in 3-over with a bogey and a double, but roared back with three consecutive birdies at holes 10-12. After a birdie at at the 15th, he bogeyed 16. Prior to a six-foot par attempt at the last, Luiten missed a birdie from just outside that range that would have drawn the Dutchman even with Jaidee, who eventually swallowed a bogey to post 6-under 278. Luiten shared runner-up honors with Thomas Bjorn, Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano and Richard Sterne. Fisher tied for sixth after a closing 73. With the victory, the 42-year-old Jaidee is exempt into the World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational in August.

Thongchai Jaidee shot a bogey-free, 8-under-par 32-32=64 in the opening round of the Volvo China Open.

The Thai did what he could to play through an elbow strain at the Masters, but acquiesced to it after 28 holes. That he was able to bounce back within a week to co-lead in China is remarkable. Never question his toughness. "Last week was very hard for me having to withdraw," he said. "But I have had a few days' rest and this week and next week in Korea are very important for me as if I can do well I can stay in the top 50 and I can play in the Players Championship at Sawgrass next month." The top 50 in the world ranking on April 26 will qualify for THE PLAYERS (May 6-9). Jaidee is currently 48th.

Thailand's Thongchai Jaidee rolled to his third consecutive convincing victory at the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship, ousting Japanese phenom, Ryo Ishikawa, 5 and 4 in the Jones Bracket in the third round.

Although it was another runaway, Jaidee's final five of seven wins were secured with pars. Ishikawa had seven bogeys through 12 holes and stood 6 down with six to play when he chipped in for birdie for a win at the 13th. Alas, matching pars at the 14th ended it. This is Jaidee's second 5-and-4 victory this week, and he still hasn't played the last three holes. He advances into the quarterfinals where he will face Ian Poulter.

Thongchai Jaidee manhandled Robert Karlsson today, defeating the Swede 4 and 3 in the Jones Bracket in the second round of the World Golf Champinoships-Accenture Match Play Championship.

And it wasn't even that close. Jaidee was 6 up with six to play before Karlsson won his first hole of the day, with a birdie at the par-3 13th. Karlsson then won the 14th with a par before they exchanged birdies at the drivable par-4 15th. Jaidee hasn't seen the final three holes in two matches yet. He might tomorrow when he faces the winner of the match between Ryo Ishikawa and Ross McGowan.

Thongchai Jaidee annihilated Ross Fisher 5 and 4 in the Jones Bracket in the opening round of the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship.

Fisher just didn't have it today, carding six bogeys in his first eight holes to go 5 down. He adjusted, playing the final six in bogey-free, 2-under-par, but the damage was already done. Jaidee advances in his first appearance in this event. He'll face the winner of the match between Robert Karlsson and Rory Sabbatini.

Thailand's own Thongchai Jaidee survived a shaky finish to win the Volvo Masters of Asia in Bangkok, the last Asian Tour Tournament of the year.

Despite a double bogey on the last hole, Jaidee's final round 72 and total of -11 was just enough to outlast Filipino stalwart, Frankie Minoza, by a single stroke. Charlie Wi, who has played a fair amount on the PGA Tour, finished third at -9. Jaidee should be considered a big fantasy longshot as his record is not stellar in the U.S. However, he is the career money leader on the Asian Tour.
