Bhullar, starting the day at nine-under and playing in the lead group alongside overnight leader Lee Craig and five-time Major winner Phil Mickelson, crumbled with two bogeys on front nine and had two more bogeys on back nine with just one birdie for the entire day on par-3 15th.
He finished at seven-under 279 and tied 10th.
The star of the day was Spaniard Pablo Larrazabal, who held his nerve on the final green to hold at bay Major Champions Rory McIlroy and Phil Mickelson here.
McIlroy (68) and Mickelson (69) tied for second at 13-under.
Shiv Kapur, who had a off-day yesterday with a 75, atoned for it with a great back nine that was his first nine of the final. He had five birdies against no bogeys but on the second nine he had two each of birdies and bogeys for a 67 but moved from tied 67th to tied 37th at the finish at three-under 285.
Larrazabal sank in a five foot birdie putt at the last after leaving his eagle effort well short for a closing five under par 67 and 14 under total.
Mickelson, whose challenge seemed in tatters with a triple bogey at the 13th, needed an eagle from the middle of the fairway to get into a play-off. But despite finding the green in two the American was unable to hole his putt from 50 feet.
