Rashid Khan (70) and S.S.P. Chawrasia (72) could not find their rhythm on the final day and ended tied sixth and tied 15th respectively at the Queen’s Cup golf here on Sunday.

As Rashid finally found his first top-10 finish of 2017, Malaysia’s Nicholas Fung overcame nerves to secure a maiden Asian Tour title with a 15-under 269 and dedicated the career breakthrough to his father.

Chawrasia finished tied 15th, the same as Rahil Gangjee, who got his first top-10 finish since Macau Open last October.

Chiragh Kumar (70) was tied 31st, while Sujjan Singh (74) was tied 42nd.

Jeev Milkha Singh had the best Indian cards on Sunday with a 66 and finished at tied 48th alongside Shiv Kapur (74).
