Jyoti Randhawa fired a final round 72 to finish tied for the 24th position at the 200 million Yen, Dunlop Phoenix event played at the par-71 Phoenix Country Club at Miyazaki, Japan, on Sunday.
Randhawa's tournament tally stood at two-over 286 in the Japanese PGA Tour event.
According to information received, Thomas Bjorn won the title courtesy an impressive tournament tally of 12-under 272.
Local golfer Daisuke Maruyama finished second two strokes behind the champion at ten-under 274.
David Gossett, Lee Westwood and yet another Japanese pro Tetsuji HIratsuka were tied third at nine-under 275.
Jyoti's round began with a birdie but a dropped shot on the very next hole undid the good work. The 31-year old Indian then went through a nightmare of sorts on the fourth hole, where he carded a quadruple bogey. Birdies on the sixth and eighth and bogeys on the fifth and ninth took him to the tenth tee at a dismal four-over. Jyoti however pulled all his experience together to stage an impressive recovery with birdies on the 11th, 13th and 18th.
"The fourth hole undid my entire week's good work," said a dejected Randhawa.
"I could definitely have essayed a top-ten finish otherwise," he added. Randhawa, who became the first ever Indian to win a Japanese Tour event when he came up trumps at the Suntory Open in September, finished tied-13th at the Mitsui Sumitomo Visa Taiheiyo Masters at Shisuoka last week.
