During the match, the Bangkok-native teased that he wanted to take Watson's driver, in response the American said he could as long as he can take his putter.
And it turns out that - despite playing on different Tours and us not being able to find a single picture of them together - the pair are actually very good friends, with Watson revealing that he's been to Thailand "many times" with Aphibarnrat and has even had dinner with his family.
"He didn't make the putts he needed to make today, so he might have putted better with a wedge," joked Watson.
"I don't know. It was just one of those things where - we are good friends.
"I've been to Thailand so many times, hanging out with him, going to dinner with him, meeting his family.
"So, yeah, we were having a giggle, but at the same time he wanted to beat me and I wanted to beat him."
