Two late bogeys derailed Jeev Milkha Singh's quest for a top-10 finish at the Mercedes-Benz Championship.
The Indian ace was five-under through 15, but found bogeys on 16th and 17th before closing with a par for a three-under 69 to total five-under 283.
Jeev was tied for 18th place and it will help him to stay in the race to Dubai, where the top-15 share a bonus pool of $10 million.
Jeev had a flawless front nine with birdies on third and eighth. But he bogeyed the 10th, soon after which he had four birdies in five holes from 11th to 15th. Then came back-to-back bogeys and he lost his chance of a top-10.
