Thai legend Prayad Marksaeng and Chinese Taipei\u2019s Chan Shih-chang, who won on the same golf course last year, shared fourth place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Player Interviews:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Shiv Kapur (Ind) &#8211; Fourth Round 67 (-4), Total 270 (-14)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It was a see-saw battle indeed. I had to come out fighting straight out of the blocks. I made two birdies in my first three holes and that reversed Prom\u2019s advantage. It doesn\u2019t always go to plan, but luckily, I started well and he made a bogey on the second hole and before I knew it, I was leading the tournament.<\/p>\n<p>On the ninth, I made a good par, which was pivotal. I had a great putt from off the green on 10<sup>th<\/sup>. At that stage, I thought I was in control. I hit a poor drive on the 11<sup>th<\/sup> and got away with par. He made good birdies on 11<sup>th<\/sup> and 12<sup>th<\/sup> and regained the lead.<\/p>\n<p>I felt that I made a bad swing on 13<sup>th<\/sup> and that carried over to the next hole. After the two bogeys, I was obviously disappointed as a two-shot lead turned into a two-shot deficit.<\/p>\n<p>Standing on the 15<sup>th<\/sup> tee, I told my caddie that we\u2019re not going to go down without a fight. Let\u2019s make a birdie here and see what happens or at least give myself a chance going into the last two holes.<\/p>\n<p>The birdie there (on the 15<sup>th<\/sup>) got me back into the tournament. I had a good up and down on the 17<sup>th<\/sup> and Prom kind of handed me the tournament as he three putted there. At the 18<sup>th<\/sup>, I thought he was a bit unluckily. Prom is a steely competitor and I\u2019m lucky to come out on top.<\/p>\n<p>I think the tournament has a great format. It has a lot of history and I\u2019m glad to join the illustrious list of winners.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of people were taking the week off. In hindsight, sometimes, good things happen. If I had made the EurAsia Cup team, I wouldn\u2019t be here. It\u2019s always great to win three times on Tour during the season. On top of that, it\u2019s a special feeling to have my daughter here on the 18<sup>th<\/sup> green celebrating my win.<\/p>\n<p>If 2018 can come anywhere close, I\u2019ll be happy. I\u2019ll be building on my success. After three weeks of rest and relaxation, I\u2019ll be back competing on the Asian Tour.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prom Meesawat (Tha) \u2013 Fourth Round 70 (-1), Total 271 (-13)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It was a good battle with Shiv. He was playing well and I simply made more mistakes. He deserved to win.<\/p>\n<p>It was disappointing for sure. I thought I made the putt for birdie to force a playoff at the 18th. Anyway, it was a good tournament for me. It is always good to end the year with a second-place finish.<\/p>\n<p>For next year, I\u2019ll continue to work hard and try to win a tournament. I\u2019ll take two weeks off before starting on the new season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Gaganjeet Bhullar (Ind) \u2013 Fourth Round 66 (-5), Total 273 (-11)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I had a good tournament. I didn\u2019t prepare much as I came straight from my wedding. Today was particularly good. I holed a lot of good putts and gave myself good opportunities. I played well but obviously these guys (Kapur and Prom) played better than me.<\/p>\n<p>It is good playing this golf course again. I had good memories from last year and I\u2019m glad I came back and played well this week.<\/p>\n<p>2017 is one of the years to remember. The Macao Open was special as it was a wire-to-wire victory and my second win there. It\u2019ll be a tournament that is always close to my heart. This week was great, of course.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prayad Marksaeng (Tha) \u2013 Fourth Round 65 (-6), Total 275 (-9)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Today I played well and hit good drives. My putting is the key factor for my good round today. On the first three days I spent much time at driving range but today I didn\u2019t. I just worked on my putting and chipping to save my energy. I had a sore back a little but everything is going well.<\/p>\n<p>The sixth hole was my highlight. I enjoyed playing this hole where players aim for eagle or at least birdie. I managed to get birdie.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been a good season for me in 2017 and really great start at SMBC Singapore Open. I also played well in Japan Golf Tour and Japan Senior Tour.<\/p>\n<p>Next year I will continue playing in Asian Tour, Japan Golf Tour and Japan Senior Tour and some tournaments in All Thailand Tour. I am in a good shape and healthy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chan Shih-chang (Tpe) \u2013 Fourth Round 65 (-6), Total 275 (-9)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I felt really good about this tournament. Overall, I didn\u2019t play to my expectations in 2017. When I heard about the opportunity to come back to play at this golf course (where he won the 2016 King\u2019s Cup), I jumped at it. I felt that I only played one bad round, that is round two. I putted badly and made four three-putts.<\/p>\n<p>I felt that my game was on point yesterday but today, I enjoyed a bit of luck like the chip-in eagle at the sixth. I felt like I was on tournament-winning form.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shiv Kapur of India emerged triumphant at the US$500,000 Royal Cup after he closed the tournament with a four-under-par 67 to finish 14-under-par 270. &nbsp; Sunday was billed as a duel between Kapur and Thailand\u2019s Prom Meesawat as the pair emerged from the pack after round three.
