Thailand’s Pongsapak “Fifa” Laopakdee hopes more Southeast Asian golfers will feature at golf’s major championships, saying the region has the talent to compete but needs more opportunities at the highest level.<\/p>\n

The 21-year-old is the only Southeast Asian in the field for this week’s 154th Open Championship at Royal Birkdale, continuing Thailand’s strong presence at the majors while highlighting the region’s limited representation on golf’s biggest stage.<\/p>\n

Speaking ahead of his Open debut, Laopakdee said players from Southeast Asia would benefit from greater exposure to elite tournaments.<\/p>\n
