Indian golfer Shubhankar Sharma had a disappointing final round as he slid from overnight tied third to finish tied 17th at the BMW PGA Championships in Wentworth, United Kingdom. While Anirban Lahiri finished tied 45th in the USA, Aditi Ashok finished best Indian at Ladies French Open.

Aiming for his best-ever result on the European Tour, Indian golfer Shubhankar Sharma slid from overnight tied third to finish tied 17th after a disappointing final round at the BMW PGA Championships in Wentworth, United Kingdom on Sunday.

Shubhankar, who had five birdies against one bogey on the front nine in the third round, suffered a severe reversal of form as he had four bogeys against one birdie. In the third round, he had nine birdies in his blistering six-under 66, but on Sunday, he managed just one against five bogeys. He bogeyed four times on the front and had only one birdie against it. On the back nine, he again bogeyed the 11th and had no more birdies scoring a forgettable four-over 76 in the final round to slip down the ladder.

Anirban Lahiri rounded off the week at tied 45th with three-under 69 at the Sanderson Farms Championship in Jackson, USA. In the final round, Lahiri set off to a fine start with four birdies in the first seven holes including birdies from 22 feet, 18 feet, and 11 feet. But he then, bogeyed ninth and had another birdie on 14th and yet another putt dropped from over 16 feet to get to five-under. Then a missed chance from 11 feet and another inside five feet.

Aditi Ashok was the best Indian at the Lacoste Ladies Open de France as she shot even par 71 in the final round to finish Tied-26th in Paris. While Aditi ended with a total of 289, Diksha Dagar (72) was Tied-43rd and Tvesa Malik (74) was Tied-63rd.
