Anirban Lahiri battled fatigue and rivals at the same time and ended in a tie for fourth after being just one spot away from the top overnight at the Yeangder Tournament Players Championship (TPC) today.
Lahiri, starting the day at nine-under, opened the day with a bogey on par-5 first and struggled through the day for a final round of 73
Also finishing fourth was Indo-Swede Daniel Chopra (72), while Rashid Khan, winner of the SAIL-SBI Open had a good week with a final round of 71 that helped him finish in top-10 at tied eighth with a total of four-under 284. Jyoti Randhawa (72) was tied 31st at one-over 289 and Rahil Gangjee with two double bogeys slipped to 77 and was also tied 31st.
Also slipping on the final day was Chiragh Kumar, whose eventful card had four birdies, five bogeys and two double bogeys.
Prom Meesawat of Thailand meanwhile captured a long-awaited second Asian Tour victory after defeating Miguel Tabuena of the Philippines on the second extra hole. Prom's first Asian Tour win was in Korea in 2006.
Lahiri stays second on the Order of Merit, with $ 3,08,590 and David Lipsky winner at the Omega European Masters is at $ 6,45,770 holding a big lead.
Lahiri felt that tiredness hit him as he mixed his card with four birdies against five bogeys.
"It was a mixed week - good and bad. I was nowhere near my A-Game or even my B-Game. I made a lot of mistakes but it is still a good week. I really feel that another win is really close. I just need to keep doing what I've been doing," said Lahiri, who finished tied-13th in Switzerland last week.
Prom forced a play-off when he birdied the last hole for a three-under-par 69 to tie with overnight leader Tabuena (71) in regulation play on 11-under-par 277 in the US$500,000 Asian Tour event.
