Haig birdie burst gets top 15 finish at Deutsche Bank

Asian Tour member Anton Haig used a blistering finish to cap his best outing since March at the Deutsche Bank Players’ Championship in Germany on Sunday.

The big-hitting South African, second on the Asian Tour’s UBS Order of Merit, birdied five of his last six holes for a final round four-under-par 68 at Kut Gaden to finish in tied 15th place on 278.

He was nine shots behind Argentine sensation Andres Romero but Haig would be delighted with his week’s work as it was his best result since winning the Johnnie Walker Classic in Thailand in March.

India’s Shiv Kapur settled for a share of 37th place after signing off with a 73 and a 281 total while Singaporean Mardan Mamat was lower down the leaderboard in 62nd place after shooting a 74.

In the Canadian Open, Korea’s Charlie Wi enjoyed another solid week with a joint 22nd finish at the Canadian Open. Wi, who had finished second in the previous week, carded a final round 69 for a 276 total, eight shots behind winner Jim Furyk.

Australian Jarrod Lyle was amongst those who shared 47th place on 282 after he closed out his week with a 70 while Daisuke Maruyama of Japan and American Ted Purdy, both winners previously in Asia, were 66th and 58th respectively.
