February 5 ------ Rianne Malixi made only one birdie to close with a one-over-par 73 and settle for joint fifth place at the close of the Women’s Amateur Asia Pacific Championship at the Siam Country Club’s Waterside course in Thailand.

Korean Lee Hysong took second place on 16-under following a 69 while Thai Sriwong Achiraya climbed to third on 15-under after a sizzling 66. Another Thai, Rubrong Pimpisa, was in fourth spot on 14-under after a 70.
