Cromvoirt (The Netherlands), Sep 20 (PTI)<\/b>\u00a0Indian golfer Ajeetesh Sandhu faltered in the final round with an even-par 72 to end tied 22nd at the Dutch Open here.<\/p>\n
Sandhu slipped seven places from his T-15 position after the third round. He totalled 11-over 299 for the tournament.<\/p>\n
Shubhankar Sharma, who began the week superbly with 70-66, let it slip over the weekend with 74-70 and finished T-27th.<\/p>\n
SSP Chawrasia, who had an up-and-down week with a 67 on the second day followed by 82 on third, ended the week just the way he started with a 75 and was 77th.<\/p>\n
Kristoffer Broberg ended a six-year drought as he claimed an emotional victory at the Dutch Open. The Swede won by three strokes after holding his nerve down the final stretch.<\/p>\n
For Sandhu, who had 69s on first three days, the bogeys on 15th and 16th ended his hopes of a Top-15 finish.<\/p>\n
Sharma, trying to avoid dropping bogeys as he did in round three, played a bogey free 70 with just two birdies.<\/p>\n
Broberg, 35, said he went through “six years of hell” before battling his way back to triumph at Bernardus Golf. He won back in 2015 BMW Masters after a play-off with Patrick Reed.<\/p>\n
Matthias Schmid (66) and Alejandro Canizares (68) seemed to pile pressure but Broberg held on despite dropped shots at the par five 12th and the 14th.<\/p>\n
Broberg holed a long birdie putt at the par-three 17th to almost seal the event and then finished it with a par.<\/p>\n
Schmid earned his best European Tour finish with an outright second place on 20-under, courtesy of a final round 66. Canizares claimed the third place despite a double-bogey finish and a 19-under total.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
