Jyoti Randhawa blew a two-shot lead with two holes to go with a bogey-bogey finish and ended tied third in the inaugural USD 300,000 Pulai Springs Malaysian Masters on Sunday.

Anton Haig, the 24-year-old South African, who took to golf only in 2000 after being diagnosed with a disease which was causing parts of his bone to chip off due to contact sports, capped a great week with a brilliant birdie-birdie finish to cruise ahead for his maiden triumph on the Asian Tour.

He won by one shot over Scotsman Barry Hume (66) who finished at 21-under.

Randhawa had a volatile finish over last five holes with one eagle, one birdie and three birides, and was tied for third with Englishman Yasin Ali (67) as they finished at 20-under. Hume was second.

Gaurav Ghei (70) finished at 14-under and in 13th place, while Shiv Kapur after three 68s went one over 73 with four bogeys in last eight holes in the final round to finish 11-under and tied 27th.

Digvijay Singh (70) joined Kapur in the tied 27th place, while Gurbaaz Mann (71) was tied 32nd and Arjun Singh (68) was tied 48th while SSP Chowrasia (75) slid down further to tied 60th.
