Michael Hoey closed with a 75 to finish tied eighth behind home hero SSP Chawrasia in the Hero Indian Open.
The Ballymoney man, 38, was tied for fourth with a round to go, albeit six strokes behind Chawrasia on three-under-par after three successive 71s.
But he bogeyed the sixth and ninth in the final round at the DLF Golf and Country Club’s Gary Player Course and then followed his solitary birdie of the day with further bogeys at the 15th and 17th.
Defending champion Chawrasia took a two-shot lead into the final round when he broke free with a third round 68 on Sunday morning.
He then went on to win by seven strokes from Malaysian rookie Gavin Green (75), carding a 71 to finish on 10-under-par for his second win in the event.
