Randhawa tied 13th, Liang wins in Manila

Jyoti Randhawa signalled his return to form with a fine six-under 66 in the final round as he finished a creditable tied 13th at the inaugural Resorts World Manila Masters, here today.
Randhawa, who reeled off six birdies on front nine with five of them in a row, finished at 10-under overall and was the best Indian of the week.
Behind him SSP Chowrasia missed a great opportunity to add another top-10 finish as he dropped two crucial double bogeys on the back nine and finish tied 20th down from overnight sixth.
Chowrasia carded 73 and ended at nine-under 279.

Meanwhile, Himmat Rai, lying fourth overnight, also crashed to tied 20th as he carded a 74 which included a double bogey and four bogeys besides an eagle and two birdies.
Among other Indians Digvijay Singh (71) was tied 37th at five-under 283, Sujjan Singh (71) was tied 41st at three-under 285 and Abhinav Lohan (76) was tied 54th at even par 288.

China's Liang Wen-chong (69) marked his return to the Philippines after more than five years by defeating Thailand's Prom Meesawat in the first play-off hole after a nailing a birdie on the 18th to get into the tie-breaker.

Then, the Chinese star's third Asian Tour win was made even more significant as he decided to donate half of his total winnings to victims suffering from the aftermath of the devastating Typhoon Haiyan.
"Before coming over to the Philippines, I was really affected by what I saw of the damage and victims suffering from the aftermath of the Typhoon on television. I've decided to donate 50 per cent of my winnings to do my part and support the relief efforts," said Liang, who took home the winner's prize cheque of USD 135,000.
