Manila, Jan 26 (PTI) The seasoned SSP Chawrasia signed off as the top Indian golfer, securing a Tied-31st place at the Smart Infinity Philippine Open on the Asian Tour here on Sunday.
Chawrasia, a multiple-time winner on the DP World Tour, posted a final-round score of one-under 69 despite a bogey on the last hole. He ended the four-day event with a two-under 268 total.
Of the other two Indians, who made the cut, Ajeetesh Sandhu (72) was T-40 and Rashid Khan (70) was T-43.
Julien Sale of France bogeyed his final hole in a round of 65 while setting the clubhouse target of 11-under.
His nearest rivals, Sadom Kaewkanjana (67) and Tomoya Ikemura (68) birdied the final hole, but the two-shot swing for neither helped as they fell one short. It handed Sale his first win on the Asian Tour.
Kevin Yuan (68) was sole fourth, while three players -- Poom Saksansin, Miguel Tabuena and Ian Snyman -- were tied fifth.
