FP – A final-round 75 has blown apart Australian Wade Ormsby’s defence of the of the Asian Tour event at Delhi Golf Club, with India’s Shiv Chowrasia winning in a playoff.

Ormsby started Sunday one shot off the lead, but it all fell apart with a double-bogey on the ninth, which was followed by a further four bogeys in the back nine to finish with a disappointing three-over round which dropped him to 11th at seven under for the tournament.

Compatriot Unho Park was the best-placed Australian finishing two shots off the pace at 10 under after he finished with a two-under 70.

Chowrasia clinched his third Asian Tour title when he defeated compatriot Rahil Gangjee and Mithun Perera of Sri Lanka in the playoff.

Chowrasia, who began the final round five shots off the lead, made a remarkable comeback by rolling in a 15-foot birdie in the play-off to win the $US300,000 ($A325,000) event at the Delhi Golf Club.

The 36-year-old, whose final-round score of six-under-par 66 included eight birdies, said he was delighted to win a Tour title after three years.

“I worked very hard for this win because I wanted to boost my confidence,” Chowrasia said. “It is three years since I last won and I will take a lot of positives from the win.

“I’ve lost in two play-offs before but that never crossed my mind. I was focused on making the birdie putt in the play-off. I always had the belief that I could win on the Asian Tour again and I did.”

Gangjee, who finished with a 71 in the final round, rued his inability to win his second Asian Tour title after leading for the first three days.

“I knew the momentum would swing through the final day and I told myself to play normally and not to worry too much about the leaderboard,” Gangjee said.

“I missed out on a couple of chances towards the end and that just took the game away from me. It was a tough contest in the end but SSP (Chowrasia) played the best golf to come through.”

Perera squandered a chance to become the first Sri Lankan to win on the Tour when he narrowly missed a 10-foot birdie in the play-off.

“Everybody had a chance to win today,” the 27-year-old Perera said.

“I did good but Chowrasia played better than all of us. But I now believe I can do something on the Tour. I will try and get one trophy this year.”
