The 27-year-old Thai and reigning Asian Tour number one Lahiri put on a thrilling exhibition of golf by shooting a seven under par 64 and 65 respectively in the final round to tie at 16 under par 268.
Pavit, who earned US$S198,000 for his career breakthrough, triumphed in extra time with a birdie on the par five 18th hole after Lahiri, the 2014 champion here, found the water hazard with his second shot following an errant drive en route to a bogey and had to settle for runner-up spot for a third time in four years.
