 Chopra slips back at Buick

Overnight leader Daniel Chopra endured a slow three-over-par 75 and ended his campaign in a tie for 17th place at the Buick Open on Sunday.

Chopra, a former Asian Tour regular, enjoyed a two stroke lead on Saturday before two birdies against five bogeys in the final round blew his chances of his second title on the US PGA Tour.

With a 13-under-par 275 total, Chopra finished a stroke ahead of Korea's Charlie Wi who posted a 75 and claimed joint 25th spot.

American Kenny Perry took the title after a 66 for a 269 total.

At the French Open, India's Shiv Kapur posted a strong five-under-par 67 and finished in a tie for 21st place. His 281 total was matched by compatriot Jeev Milkha Singh who carded a 69.

Australia's Scott Barr produced a 71 and was among those who claimed joint 30th place while Thailand's Thongchai Jaidee recorded a 69 and ended his run in a tie for 36th spot.

Spain's Pablo Larrazabal finished at the top of the pack after a 67 for a 269 total, and Colin Montgomerie boosted his Ryder Cup hopes with a lone second place finish four shots behind to climb into 14th in the combined European points table.
