Sharma finishes creditable T-27; Westwood wins title after four years

India's Shubhankar Sharma produced a fine round of four-under 68 to finish a creditable T-27th at the Nedbank Golf Challenge here on Sunday.

Shubhankar, who struggled the first two days with 74-75, shot 71-68 on the weekend to total even par 288 and finish in Top-30.

The finish, especially with the last two rounds, should fire up Shubhankar before the DP World Tour Championships next week.

This finish was his second best since the first week of July, when he was T-27th in the Open de France. Since then his only result better than that was T-10 at the CIMB Classic in Malaysia.

Shubhankar after being even par for the first nine holes on the back stretch of the course, was on a birdie spree on back nine when he had four birdies in five holes between second and sixth holes.

Meanwhile, Lee Westwood produced a stunning closing 64 to win his first Rolex Series title at the Nedbank Golf Challenge.
