Chikkarangappa finishes sixth as Ormsby wins

Hua Hin (Thailand): India’s S Chikkarangappa, one of the four leaders after three rounds, opened his final round with a double bogey at the International Series Thailand and never recovered from there. Chikkarangappa shot a 2-under 70 and finished tied-sixth at 17-under as Wade Ormsby overcame Chonlatit Chuenboonngam on the first hole of a sudden-death play-off to win the title. Karandeep Kochhar (70) finished tied-22nd, Honey Baisoya (69) tied-34th, Veer Ahlawat (69) and Gaganjeet Bhullar (69) tied-48th and Jyoti Randhawa (73) tied-72nd.

Scheffler romps to Players Championship win

Scottie Scheffler ran away with the Players Championship title and along with it took the No. 1 world ranking and the PGA Tour’s richest purse of $4.5 million. It was another clinical effort from the unflappable American, who carded a final round 3-under 69 on a gusty afternoon for a commanding five-shot win over Briton Tyrrell Hatton, who closed with a 65. A winning total of 17-under 271 brought Scheffler his sixth career title and second in his last four starts as the Masters champion signalled he is well prepared for next month’s Green Jacket defence.
