Madappa 12th, Gangjee 18th in Donghae Open

INCHEON: Viraj Madappa and Rahil Gangjee produced an improved performance in the final round to finish T-12th and T-18th respectively at the Shinhan Donghae Open. Madappa carded 70 for a total of five-under, while Gangjee finished with 69 for a total of four-under. They were the only two Indians to make the cut. South Africa’s Jbe Kruger ended his seven-year title drought on Asian Tour by signing off with a six-under-par 65 to win the Shinhan Donghae Open by two shots.

Kruger has not won another Asian Tour title since his lone win in India in 2012. However, he showed he was ready to make his comeback to the winner’s circle with a commanding performance where he did not drop a single shot in his last 37 holes.
