Atwal signs off at bottom of leader board in PGA Tourney

Atwal signs off at bottom of leader board in PGA Tourney
Las Vegas: Indian golfer Arjun Atwal ended his campaign at the bottom of the leader board in the US PGA Shriners Hospitals Open after carding a disappointing four-over 75 in the final round.

Atwal, who slipped to 75th in the third round after carding a horrendous 77, signed off at 74th with an overall total of six-over 290.

The Orlando-based golfer sank three birdies against five bogeys and a double bogey in the final round at the TPC Summerlin.

Two-over by the first four holes, Atwal picked up two birdies at the sixth and eighth holes to make the turn at level-par.

But his back nine was in complete disarray as Atwal bogeyed the 13th hole, made amends with a birdie at the 15th, before stumbling to two successive bogeys and a double bogey in the next three holes.

American Jonathan Byrd (68) fired a hole-in-one at the fourth play-off to pip Martin Laird (69) of Scotland and Australian Cameron Percy (67) and clinch the title.
