Jeev Milkha Singh shot a forgettable round of five-over 76 on the final day of the 120 million yen JGT Championship Shishido Hills Cup to finish in tied 45th place at the par-71 Shishido Hills Golf Club in Ibaragi, Japan on Sunday.
Jeev, who aggregated four-over 288, made a birdie on the fourth hole, but bogeys on the sixth, eighth, tenth and 13th pushed him back. A birdie on the 14th was followed by a three-putt double bogey on the 15th, and he dropped several places down the leaderboard with another double bogey on the 17th hole. A birdie on the final 18th hole handed him a five-over 76 card.
Japan's Toshimitsu Izawa won the tournament with a four-day aggregate of 14-under 270. Izawa was followed by David Smail of New Zealand and Tadahiro Takayama of Japan in tied second place at 13-under 271.
Meanwhile, playing on the European PGA Tour, Kolkata's Arjun Atwal could not maintain a good start and submitted a two-over 74 card on day three of the 2.8 million Euro Smurfit European Open, being played at the par-72 K-Club course near Dublin, Ireland.
Atwal was tied for 75th and was four-over 220.
The two-time winner on the European Tour started well and birdies on the fourth, seventh and eighth holes, and a lone bogey on the fifth saw him at two-under on the ninth tee.
But thereafter, the Indian ace made bogeys on the ninth, tenth and 16th, and a double bogey on the 15th hole. The only consolation was that he made a birdie on the par-4 17th, a hole on which he made double bogeys on the opening two days.
Philip Price of Wales took the sole possession of the lead at 14-under 202, following a third round five-under 67.
