Indian golfer Feroz Singh Garewal carded a disappointing one-over 73 to end tied 12th at the USD 120,000 Ambassador Asian Development Tour tournament here today.
The 18-year-old Chandigarh golfer, who was six-under overnight and tied-seventh, totalled five-under 283.
His earlier rounds were 72, 69 and 69 and it was his second successive T-15th finish.
Lin Wen-ko of Chinese Taipei cruised to an eight-shot victory to give himself hope of reviving his professional golf career.
Lin, who has been struggling with a hip injury since 2003, closed with a one-under 71 to win his first ADT title with a stunning total of 20-under 268 at the Hsin Feng Golf and Country Club.
Lu Wei-chih of Chinese Taipei fired the low round 63 to finish second while Thailand's Poom Saksansin ended his campaign a further shot back in third place on a 278 total to move to fourth position on the ADT Order of Merit.
The 41-year-old Lin enjoyed a career breakthrough on the Asian Tour when he won the 2003 Taiwan Masters but had to stop playing professionally after undergoing a hip surgery in the same year.
He felt pain in his hips after the surgery and was forced to put his career on hold as he became a full-time teaching professional. It was only in 2013 when he continued training again.
The victory propelled him to fifth place on the ADT Order of Merit and he is determined to stay inside the top-five on the final Merit rankings to regain playing rights on the 2017 Asian Tour season.
