Lahiri, who carded rounds of 70, 73 and 69 over the first three days, produced his best score of the week in the final round to finish tied 23rd at eight-under-par at the US$ 4 million tournament. The experienced Indian showed greater control on the final day, avoiding bogeys and giving himself a strong finish in a high-quality international field.

Yuvraj Sandhu was the next best Indian, joining Lahiri among those who finished with a flourish. Sandhu also carded a four-under 68 in the final round, following earlier rounds of 75, 68 and 72. He finished tied 34th at five-under-par, recovering well from his opening-round setback to end the championship on a positive note.

Om Prakash Chouhan, who had opened with a six-under 68, finished tied 42nd at four-under-par. His final-round 73 followed scores of 72 and 71 in the second and third rounds.

Karandeep Kochhar closed with a three-under 69 to finish tied 49th at three-under-par. After three successive rounds of 72, Kochhar found some momentum on the final day to improve his position.

Saptak Talwar, who began with a promising 71, returned a final-round 71 to finish tied 55th at one-under-par. His other rounds were 73 and 72.

Shiv Kapur endured a difficult finish, carding a three-over 75 in the final round after rounds of 72, 72 and 73. He ended the week tied 69th at four-over-par.

The six Indians who made it through to the weekend faced a demanding test at Delhi Golf Club, where the tree-lined fairways and strategic layout called for accuracy and careful course management.
