This time, under the sponsorship of CAT Telecom, the spectators saw a smooth running event with many golfing highlights.
Despite the fact that the event was organized in the middle of the rainy season in Thailand, the weather could have not been better for the field over 240 players competing for the cup and prize money of 1.300.000 Thai Baht of the CAT Telecom "Think Green" Championship 2010.

The first two groups teeing off at holes number 1 and 10 on Monday the 9th or August at 06:30 started the event during which the senior golf professionals demonstrated one more time their capabilities. At the end of day-one Nuttapol Jirapornpanich was leading after shooting five under par for the day, leading Nopajuk Meesom with only one stroke.

The second day was somewhat different for Nuttapol; the weather had developed a fair bit and meant a challenge to many players so we saw a change at the leaderboard in favor of Nopajuk Meesom, who managed to negotiate the course best and after birdies on holes number 8, 9 and 10 and one bogey at the 18th he was leading at a combined score of six under.
