Shigeki Maruyama won in extra hole with 9 under score ... But today Jeev had so-so day, on front-9 he scored birdie on 5th hole ... On back-9 he started with back to back bogeys on 10th and 11th holes ... Then managed to birdie on 16th hole to finished on sole 6th position.

Jeev must be disappointed with his performance where he had chance of finishing in top 3 ... After excellent 5 under third round Jeev was in contention for the title but last PAR round let down for Jeev ... He was expecting much here as he won 2 titles here and another title win could help him to re-enter in top 50 GWR.
