Samui: Rahil Gangjee fired a flawless three-under 68 in the final round to notch up the best finish among all the Indians in the fray at tied ninth in the Queen’s Cup at the Santiburi Golf and Country Club here on Sunday.

Gangjee rose from tied 13th to tied ninth and was the best among the Indians.

After the fourth place at the Championships in Singapore, this was Gangjee’s second successive top-10 finish.

Thai superstar Thaworn Wiratchant rallied from five shots back to win an unprecedented 17th Asian Tour victory with a classy one-stroke triumph.

The 47-year-old Thaworn holed a five-foot birdie putt on the closing hole to pip overnight leader Poom Saksansin with a final round of five-under 66 to lift the Queen’s Cup for the second time in three years.

Meanwhile, Gaganjeet Bhullar and Jeev Milkha Singh rounded of their final round with modest efforts of 71 and 74 to finish inside the top-60 at the Lyoness Open, in Aztenbrugg, Austria.

Bhullar finished with a total of three-over 291 to finish in a tie for 50th place, while Jeev finished with a total of five-over 293 in tied 59th place.

Mikael Lundberg fired a brilliant seven-under 65 with eight birdies to get into a play-off with Bernd Weisberger. Lundberg then knocked in a birdie and Weisberger could not get his birdie putt down. (PTI)
