JAKARTA --- India's Gaganjeet Bhullar won the $300,000 Indonesia Open for the second time in his career after closing with a four-under-par 68 on Monday.
Bhullar sealed his seventh Asian Tour victory and a second title this season with a 16-under-par 272 total at the Pondok Indah Golf Course. He also won the event in 2013
Bhullar returned to finish his remaining three holes on Monday morning since play was abandoned due to bad weather on Sunday.
Jeev Milkha Singh, a two-time Asian Tour No. 1, finished tied-2nd -- his best result since 2012 -- after making bogey on the 17th hole to finish on 72. Thailand's Danthai Boonma (67), Panuphol Pittayarat (68) and Tour rookie Johannes Veerman (69) of the United States took a share of second alongside Singh on 275s.
Bhullar made five birdies in seven holes on Sunday before returning to par his last three holes.
"It is never easy in a Monday finish, especially when you only have a two-shot lead," he said. "I slept at 7pm last night and woke up at 2am because there was so much adrenaline rush. I just couldn't focus on anything. I was not focused on sleeping. I just could not divert my mind anywhere else apart from the last few holes. At the end of the day, I'm proud of myself and I'm glad I pulled it off."
Jeev, who has won 14 titles worldwide but not since 2012, said it was difficult to chase Bhullar.
"I played well but Gaganjeet started really well yesterday," he said. "I tried to push him but I finished second and I'll take that result as it is my best finish of the year. I think I handled myself really well being in the last group for the first time since 2012."
