Jyoti down at 9th, after one-over Rd 4

Jeev slips to 17th; Woods finishes in 2nd place behind Korea8217;s Yang Yong-eun

.

Jyoti Randhawa failed to find the touch that made him one of the leading contenders over the first three days at the HSBC Champions golf tournament to finish a disappointing tied ninth in the star-studded event.

With a three-over par 75 fourth round, the Indian ace slipped from overnight third while Korea8217;s Yang Young-eun 69 cruised to a brilliant two-shot win despite two bogeys in the last three holes.

Yang totalled 14-under 274, while holding off the challenge of three of the world8217;s finest players 8212; world No.1 Tiger Woods, South Africa8217;s Retief Goosen, New Zealand8217;s Michael Campbell and the rest of the high-class field.

Randhawa8217;s ninth place was the only top-10 for India, who at one stage had three in the zone.

Jeev Milkha Singh also had an error-riddled 73 that saw him finish 17th after being eighth overnight. Shiv Kapur had three each of birdies and bogeys and ended tied 18th, while Gaurav Ghei began and ended with a double bogey in a round of 74 to finish tied 26th.

The 34-year-old Yang overhauled overnight leader Goosen mid-way through the day and survived a late stumble to eventually score a two-shot triumph over Woods with the disappointing South African and Campbell tied for third a further shot back.
