Emotional win for Buhrmann

Buhrmann notched a glorious eagle on the 12th, and made two stunning pars from potentially disastrous positions 8211; first on the 7th hole where the ball had gone out of bounds, and another on the 17th where he had to take a blind shot with the ball on the slope of a ravine.

Meanwhile, despite a big crowd rooting him on, Delhi-lad Ashok Kumar slipped to fifth position and ended with a 12,910 prize-money. It was an overall dismal result for Indian golfers 8212; with only five finishing in the top 20.
