Chikka finishes tied-24 as Jazz wins title in Singapore

Indian golf S Chikkarangappa finished Tied-24th after a final round of 71 at the SMBC Singapore Open on Sunday.

Chikka, who was in Top-10 midway through the second round, finished with rounds of 71, 66, 72 and 71 for a four-under 280.

Arjun Atwal, the only other Indian to make the cut, shot 74 on the final day and ended T-51st.

Thailand's Jazz Janewattananond found his winning rhythm when he closed with a six-under-par 65 to take home the SMBC Singapore Open trophy for his third Asian Tour title and also seal his passage to The Open.

The 23-year-old arrived in Singapore on the back of a rich vein of form to establish himself as one of the genuine contenders for the prestigious SMBC Singapore Open trophy at the start of the week.

He did not disappoint as he shrugged off the challenges of a host of quality players including Sergio Garcia, Paul Casey and Davis Love III to become the third Thai after Thaworn Wiratchant (2001) and Prayad Marksaeng (2017) to lift his third Asian Tour title .
