Shanghai: <\/strong>India\u2019s Jeev Milkha Singh ended his week with his best score of 68 after rounds of 72, 73 and 69 to finish tied 23rd in the WGC-HSBC Champions on Sunday.<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Germany\u2019s Martin Kaymer staged a dramatic comeback by firing a flawless nine-under-par 63 to win the event, while Sweden\u2019s Fredrik Jacobson, who held the overnight lead, closed with a 71 to take second place while Northern Ireland\u2019s Graeme McDowell carded a 67 to take third place.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeev was happy with the fact tha his performance has set himself up well for his upcoming events in Singapore and Malaysia.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnything you play well, you take it, whether it\u2019s the first round or last round. I think the last two days were much better than the first two days but I need to work a little more on the short game,\u201d said Singh, who was Asia\u2019s number one in 2006 and 2008.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m looking forward to the next two weeks especially in Singapore where I\u2019ve good memories since I won there in 2008. I struggled with my putting over the last few weeks but I\u2019m working on the right stuff and I think my putting is going to turn around,\u201d added the Indian.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, South Africa\u2019s Charl Schwartzel signed off with a 65 to take a share of fourth place alongside England\u2019s Paul Casey and Northern Ireland\u2019s Rory McIlroy on 273 total.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaymer, who started the day five shots behind Jacobson of Sweden, stunned his closest rivals with a winning total of 20-under-par 268 at the Sheshan International Golf Club.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The German\u2019s five-shot final round winning comeback was the largest in any WGC stroke play event and also lifted him up to fourth place on the Official World Golf Ranking.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaymer\u2019s spectacular birdie run started on the par-four seventh before he added his second on the eighth hole to turn in 34.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
He then began to blaze the course with five birdies in six holes in his inward-nine before storming home to take his first WGC title with two closing birdies on the 17th and 18thholes.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt started off a little slow. \u00a0But then I holed a bunker shot on the seventh for birdie and pretty much since then, I didn’t miss a lot of golf shots,\u201d said Kaymer.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI felt very comfortable with my putts today and \u00a0I hit a lot of good irons. \u00a0My putts were also not very difficult as most of them were quite short, apart from the one on the 17th,\u201d added Kaymer.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
With his first WGC victory in the bag, Kaymer is gunning for more success since he rose to world number one for the first time in his career in February this year.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThis win has put me in a very nice position. I\u2019ve won a Major (PGA Championship) last year and now I\u2019ve won a World Golf Championships. I\u2019m going to try to put my name on all of the big events in the world,\u201d said Kaymer<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jacobson, who led after the second and third round, was denied his fifth professional win after being let down by his putting and Kaymer\u2019s clinical performance.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI was happy with the chances I gave myself out there, and I wish I could have made maybe a couple of more putts along the way to really get a little bit of a cushion and put a little bit more pressure on Martin coming down the stretch,\u201d said Jacobson.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
While the Swede marked his card with four birdies, his three bogeys on the first, eight and 17th holes ended all hopes of a grandstand finish.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is what it is. \u00a0I gave it my everything, and overall it was a great week,\u201d said the Swede.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
McDowell, who posted a flawless 67, tipped his hat to the newly crowned WGC-HSBC champion and lavished high praises for the German.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf Martin Kaymer had not skipped the last couple of holes, we might all have had a chance. \u00a0He’s an unbelievable frontrunner; when he gets a sniff of a win,\u201d said McDowell.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHe’s pretty prolific and very clinical when it comes to finishing. \u00a0Hats off to him as he’s a classy player and was impossible to catch out there today,\u201d added McDowell.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
China\u2019s Zhang Xin-jun emerged as the leading Asian and also the best Chinese finisher in the tournament\u2019s history after closing with a 72 to take a share of 13th place alongside England\u2019s Lee Westwood and Ian Poulter.<\/p>\n
