Indian-origin Trio Endure Quiet Finish As Tom Kim Captures Scottish Open Crown
Genesis Scottish Open: South Korea's Tom Kim produced a sensational final-round charge to win the Genesis Scottish Open on Sunday, while the Indian-origin contingent endured a disappointing finish, with none able to challenge for the title.
Indo-Canadian Sudarshan Yellamaraju, who had emerged as one of the surprise packages during the opening two rounds, slipped to a tied-52nd finish after carding a seven-over 77 in the final round. Indian-American Sahith Theegala signed off with a one-under 71 to finish tied-66th, while reigning PGA Championship winner Aaron Rai's title defence had ended on Friday after he missed the cut.
Yellamaraju appeared on course for the best result of his rookie PGA TOUR season after impressive opening rounds of 68 and 65 propelled him into the top 10 at the halfway mark. However, difficult weekend conditions proved costly as he struggled to maintain that momentum, eventually dropping down the leaderboard despite an encouraging start to the tournament.
