Panchkula golfer Shubhankar Sharma, who started the week with a superb 66, carded a disappointing 73 to finish tied-56th at the China Open.

With the third round being cancelled due to inclement weather, the event was reduced to 54 holes and Shubhankar finished 4-under 212 after being tied-7th at the end of the first day.

Om Prakash, the other Indian in the field, missed the cut with opening rounds of 70 and 74. Adrian Otaegui overturned a five-shot deficit to secure his fifth DP World Tour title and earn a spot in the US PGA Championship later this month.

Another local golfer Ajeetesh Sandhu secured a tied-28th finish at the GS Caltex Maekyung Open in Seoul. Indian golfer SSP Chawrasia dropped four shots in the last three holes to finish tied-37th. Chawrasia closed the week with a 4-over 75 to total 3-over 287 after being even par through 15 holes. Ajeetesh, who carded 71-71-74-69, finished T-28.

Three other Indians, including Chandigarh’s Karandeep Kochhar, Shiv Kapur and S Chikkarangappa missed the cut.
