Jyoti and Ghei finish 17th, Scots win World Cup of golf

Jyoti Randhawa and Gaurav Ghei ended their Omega Mission Hills World Cup campaign with a modest one-under 71 that saw them finish tied 17th place after the four-day tournament.

The final round showing was way off their first and third round performances, but their second-round three-over 75 pulled them down badly.
















The Scots, who started the final round one stroke back of the unheralded American duo, won the US$5 million team event with a par on the third hole of a sudden-death shoot-out at Mission Hills Golf Club. Victory was sweet for Scotland as it made up for last year's disappointment of finishing runner-up to Germany.

China enjoyed their best finish in the World Cup with trailblazers Zhang Lian-wei and Liang Wen-chong shooting a four-under-par 68 in the foursomes to finish tied 11th on a 17-under-par 271, eight shots behind winners Scotland.

They were the joint best Asian team alongside Korea's Lee Sung and Lee Seung-ho in the 28-team competition that will stay in Mission Hills for the next 12 years.



















Montgomerie, 44, paid a tribute to 18-years younger Warren after the latter pulled off a pressure-packed 12-foot par save in the first extra hole to keep the Scots firmly in the tournament. Warren had also holed an eight-foot eagle putt on the 15th hole that propelled them to the top of the leaderboard.

Frenchman Raphael Jacquelin and Gregory Havret shot a flawless 67 to finish third, one shot shy of the play-off teams while England's Justin Rose and Ian Poulter, the pre-tournament favourites, settled for fourth place, also after a 67.
