None of the Indians could manage to break par in the final round of the Asian Open with Digvijay Singh and Jeev Milkha Singh managing the best finish among them at tied 23rd in theĀ $ 2.3 million event in Shanghai on Sunday.

While Jeev returned a five-over 77 -- comprising two birdies against and equal number of bogeys and double bogeys, Digvijay could only manage one birdie against six bogeys in his 77. The duo signed off with a total of two-over 290.

Among the other Indians in the fray, Shiv Kapur turned in another two-over 74 to finish tied 46th with a total of six-over 294.

Meanwhile, Indian Masters champion SSP Chowrasia came up with the worst performance among the Indians as he carded a 79 to end up eight-over in the tournament.

The Kolkata-pro was tied for 55th position.

Irishman Darren Clarke won the tournament by a stroke despite playing his worst golf of the week to card a one-over 73. However, his total of eight-under 280 was enough to get him the title.

The Netherlands' Robert-jan Derksen also carded a 73 and finished runner-up at 281.
