Sandhu best Indian at T-8th, Shubhankar 11th in Jakarta

Ajeetesh Sandhu finished Tied 8th after returning with a second successive 67 in the final round of the Indonesian Masters here today.
It was his fifth Top-10 finish in last nine starts, during which he won once at Yeangder TPC and was Tied 2 at Macao Open and Panasonic Open India besides being third at Take Solutions Masters.
Meanwhile, Justin Rose finished the tournament with a 10 -under 62 just the same as he had started the week with a 10- under 62. He ended with a total of 29-under 259, for a whopping eight-shot win over Thailand's Phachara Khongwatmai (65), who aggregated 21-under 267.

Four other Indians finished in Top-20 and that included S Chikkarangappa, who faltered in the final round with 75 that included a double and two other bogeys on the front nine.
Shubhankar Sharma, who has had a great season, was T-11 with a final round 71 that saw him total 12-under 276, while Gaganjeet Bhullar (67) was T-13 at 11-under, while Shiv Kapur (69) was T-20 alongside Chikka.
Of the other Indians, who made the cut, Jyoti Randhawa (74) was T-51 at two-under 286, Honey Baisoya (76) was even par 288 in T-59th and Rashid Khan (74) was three-over 291 in Tied 69th.

Sandhu had a sedate front nine at even par and then he had five birdies, including three in last four holes, on the back stretch for his 67, while Shubhankar closed birdie-birdie for his 71 after a up-and-down round.

Rose grabbed his third win of 2017 and he has finished in Top-10 in each of last 10 starts, which include three wins, three other Top-5s and four times he has been T-10.
The marathon week, where the Indonesian Masters was hit by multiple weather suspensions did not faze the world number six. After completing 10 holes from his third round in the morning, Rose was back at the starting tee in 30 minutes.

The world number six got his round going with a birdie on the third hole before embarking on a stunning run with four birdies and an eagle starting from the par-four fifth at the Royale Jakarta Golf Club.
Rose's lead was never threatened when he surged further ahead with three birdies in his next four holes after making the turn in 29.
The Olympic gold medalist dropped a shot on 16 but delighted the crowd at the Royale Jakarta Golf Club by closing with a birdie on 18 for a winning total of 29-under-par 259.
The consolation for Chikka was that he secured his Tour card at the expenses of China's Liu Yan-wei by taking the last 61st spot on the Asian Tour Order of Merit.

The Indonesian Masters was the last event of the year on any main Tour worldwide with significant OWGR points.
