None of the Indians could manage to break par in the final round of the Asian Open with Digvijay Singh and Jeev Milkha Singh [Images] managing the best finish among them at tied 23rd in the $ 2.3 million event in Shanghai on Sunday.

While Jeev returned a five-over 77 -- comprising two birdies against and equal number of bogeys and double bogeys, Digvijay could only manage one birdie against six bogeys in his 77. The duo signed off with a total of two-over 290.

Among the other Indians in the fray, Shiv Kapur turned in another two-over 74 to finish tied 46th with a total of six-over 294.

Meanwhile, Indian Masters champion SSP Chowrasia came up with the worst performance among the Indians as he carded a 79 to end up eight-over in the tournament.

The Kolkata-pro was tied for 55th position.

Irishman Darren Clarke won the tournament by a stroke despite playing his worst golf of the week to card a one-over 73. However, his total of eight-under 280 was enough to get him the title.

The Netherlands' Robert-jan Derksen also carded a 73 and finished runner-up at 281.
