Westwood wins again, Kapur crashes to 24th
May 1st, 2011 - 6:09 pm ICT by IANSSeoul, May 1 (IANS) India’s Shiv Kapur ended with even par scores in the third and final rounds as he dropped three bogeys in the last five holes of the third round and another two in the final round to crash to 24th down from provisional fourth at the Ballantine’s Championship golf.
Kapur finished with a four-under 284 and he had par scores in first, third and fourth round and a 68 in the second here Saturday.
Gaganjeet Bhullar had a nightmarish day with an 81 that saw him finish at 12-over for the week and in 69th place.
England’s Lee Westwood shrugged off the challenges of closest rival Miguel Angel Jimenez of Spain to win the title and won for the second straight week to justify his World No. 1 ranking.
Westwood closed with a bogeyfree five-under-par 67 for a four-day total of 12-under-par 276. He earlier triumphed at the Indonesian Masters last week.
Jimenez signed off with a 71 to take second place on 277 while Park Sang-hyun emerged as the leading Korean after a closing eagle on the 18th hole saw him take third place on 278 at the Blackstone Golf Club.
