Randhawa finished with a tournament aggregate of 15-under 269 to pocket a cheque of $30,000. According to information received here, American Ted Purdy emerged triumphant with a four-day score of 19-under 265 to bag the winner's cheque of $90,000. Lin Keng Chi of Taipei came second one stroke behind to earn $50,000. Chandigarh's Harmeet Kahlon fired a three-under 68 to finish tied for seventh position at 11-under 273. Amandeep Johl, at tied-13th, ended two strokes behind Harmeet at nine-under 275. Arjun Singh tallied two-over 286 for the tied-51st place. Arjun Atwal, who topped the Asian PGA Tour's 2003 Order of Merit after this event, finished the lowest among the Indians at tied-57th and a tournament tally of four-over 288. Sweden's Daniel Chopra, who along with Atwal earned a US PGA Tour card last week at the PGA Tour qualifiers, finished tied-32nd at five-under 279 while Atwal's main challenger in the race for the Order of Merit title, China's Zhang Lian Wei, was tied-39th at 281. Randhawa, who broke par on each of the four days and never once moved out of the top-10 at this year's Volvo Masters of Asia, reserved his best for the last day. His round of six-under 65 was a superb effort but not without incident. The 31-year old carded birdies early on in his round, on the third and fourth. The fifth hole, however, witnessed him return his third double bogey of the event. The remainder of Randhawa's rounds comprised of birdies on the sixth, seventh, eighth, 12th, 15th, 17th and 18th, with a lone bogey on the 13th. Harmeet Kahlon had birdies on the fourth, eighth, 12th, 13th and 18th while he dropped shots on the 11th and 17th for a 68. The India Cements-sponsored Harmeet was richer by $10,317 while his Chandigarh citymate Amandeep Johl pocketed $6971. Arjun Singh took home $2,200. Atwal had a dream start with an eagle on the par-five opening hole. Birdies on the third and ninth placed him at four-under on the 10th tee, but the Kolkatan dropped his first and only shot of the day on that hole to finish with a card of 68 to earn $1,825. Purdy, erred just twice, once on the seventh and then on the 15th. Otherwise, his round was peppered with birdies on the fist, fourth, sixth, ninth, 12th, 13th, 14th and 16th holes. — UNI
