Lee birdied the final two holes at Thai Country Club to beat Uihlein, after the American had led the whole day - in fact he had been in front since day two.
The champion, playing in the penultimate group, fired a seven-under-par 63 to finish on 21-under, while Uihlein closed with a 67 to tie for second place with Canadian Richard T. Lee, who carded a 62.
Lee, whose English name is Max, birdied the par-five 17th to move to within one of Uihlein, who still looked to be heading for victory.
