The Thailand native, who just finished off a successful four-year career with the Hokies, shot a 10-under 278 (71-71-66-70) in the four-day Stage I event to tie for seventh place. Foocharoen and the 311-golfer field competed at Mission Hills Country Club and Shadow Ridge Golf Club over the 72 holes of competition. There was a 54-hole cut on Saturday, with everyone who shot 2-over-par or better moving on to Sunday’s final round. The top 100 golfers and ties upon conclusion of Sunday’s final round advanced to Stage II.
