Jeev Milkha Singh opened and closed with a birdie, but in between struggled with five bogeys, four of them on back nine, and one double bogey for a disappointing 77 in the final round of the Nordea Masters on Sunday.
Jeev's total of seven-over 295 saw him finish in a tied 76th place from among the 79 players who made the cut this week.
The other Indian Shiv Kapur missed the cut earlier on as did Daniel Chopra.
Sweden's Alex Noren completed a brilliant four shot win. He started the final day with a two-shot lead over German Max Kieffer. He opened with a birdie, and gave away the shot the very next hole.
But he parred his way for the rest of the round till the 18th, which he birdied to celebrate a dominating win. His 71 saw him finish at 12-under for his fourth European Tour and the second at the same tournament. His last tournament win was also the Nordea Masters in 2011.
As Kieffer faded away with a couple of double bogeys, the previous week's winner Soren Kjeldsen continued his fine form with a final round of 71 and finished second four shots behind the winner.
In the third place was Alexander Levy (71) with Kieffer (75) and two other Swedes Jens Danthorp (74) and Sebastian Soderberg (74). The day's best came from Fabrizio Zanotti (66) and he was tied seventh with five others including Kieffer.
