Newton on Ponghathaikul:
North has had similar successes that Poon had while playing junior golf in Thailand. He has a great chance to be selected to the Thailand men’s National team. I really liked North’s short game and variety of shots he can use around the greens when I first watched him. He will be an excellent addition to our roster.
