Five birdies in the last 10 holes saw Jyoti Randhawa turn in another top-10 finish, as he continued his fine form at the USD 750,000 BANK BRI Indonesia Open.
Randhawa carded a five-under 66 to close with a total of eight-under 276 and at tied seventh position, the best among all Indians this week.
But things finished on a very disappointing note for Anirban Lahiri, who triple bogeyed the final hole to drop to tied 15th from a possible six finish. He ended with a round of one-over 72 and a total of six-under.
"I had a poor start and finish. Everything in between was quite good. I got off to a poor start on day one and fought back pretty well. It is disappointing to finish the way I did but I have to accept what has happened," Lahiri said.
This also meant Lahiri dropped further behind David Lipsky in the race for the Order of Merit. He will now have much to play for in the remaining two Asian Tour events.
Among other Indians -- SSP Chowrasia (72) was tied 19th, Arjun Atwal (71) was tied 34th, Chiragh Kumar (75) was tied 54th and Shubhankar Sharma (76) was 70th.
Rahil Gangjee, Gaganjeet Bhullar and Himmat Rai missed the cut.
Meanwhile, Irishman Padraig Harrington secured a thrilling victory against a battling Thanyakon Khrongpha of Thailand by two shots. Harrington signed for an even-par 71 and a winning total of 16-under-par 268.
The three-time Major champion Harrington, who had not won a main Tour event since 2008, held a four-shot lead at the start of the final round but stumbled at the turn in 37 as Thanyakon birdied three in his opening five holes to lead by two shots after nine holes.
Harrington clawed his way back up after a two-hour rain suspension to tie with Thanyakon heading into the 18th hole where drama ensued at the Damai Indah Golf, PIK Course.
