India's Ashok Kumar finished a creditable fifth in the inaugural USD 200,000 Carlsberg Masters golf tournament in Hanoi, Vietnam, on Sunday.
Although he was nowhere his best in carding a one-over 73 at the newly-built Chi Linh Star Golf and Country Club par-72 course, his fine 68 in the penultimate round on Saturday ensured him a fat pay packet.
Joint fourth overnight, Ashok finished with a four-round aggregate of 282 (71-70-68-73), which were six strokes adrift of winner Angelo Que of Philippines.
Ashok came into this tournament on the heels of a fine show on the domestic Tour, which saw him win four titles on the trot.
Asian number one Thongchai Jaidee of Thailand finished second with 278 in the APGA Tour event.
Other Indians who had made it to the money-making round -- Arjun Singh, Harmeet Kahlon and Amandeep Johl -- finished on the lower rung of the leader board.
While Arjun tallied 291, Kahlon and Johl had an identical aggregate of 292.
