Strong Final round helps Yuvraj Sandhu secure T-31 finish in Barcelona

Indian golfer Yuvraj Sandhu produced a strong final round, carding 3-under 69, to finish at T-31 at the Estrella Damn Catalunya Championship golf tournament here. The 29-year-old had struggled on the second and third days despite a promising start to the week. He shot 68-72-73-69 on the four days to total 7-under for four rounds. Yurav Premlall of South Africa won the title by a comfortable margin of 14 strokes as he recorded a second consecutive round of 9-under 63 to finish the week at 28-under par (70-64-63-63). Sandhu began his final day with four pars before making his first birdie of the day on the fifth hole. Two consecutive birdies on the ninth and 10th holes saw Sandhu move up to 3-under par for the day before bogeys on the 12th and 15th holes resulted to him falling back down to 1-under par. Late birdies on the 16th and 18th holes helped Sandhu climb back up to T-31, his strongest finish of the season so far. Premlall recorded his first win on the DP World Tour in style as he set the record for the largest margin between first and second place outside of the majors with his 14 stroke lead over fellow countryman Shaun Norris, who finished second this week. The record for the largest margin of victory belongs to Tiger Woods for his 15 lead at the 2000 US Open, but Premlall's margin was a record on DP World Tour.
