Arjun Atwal became the first Indian to win a European Tour event as he cruised to his maiden victory in the Caltex Singapore Masters. Atwal carded a final-round 68 at Laguna National for a comfortable five-shot victory over Australia's Richard Green, with Nick Faldo a shot further back in third place.
In only his 18th European Tour event, Atwal's 14-under-par total of 274 gave him the first prize of £104,785 and a two-year exemption, while left-hander Green enjoyed his best finish since winning the 1997 Dubai Desert Classic. Faldo was gifted outright third when American Jim Johnson ran up a double-bogey six on the last, the six-time major winner now with finishes of 10th, sixth and third in his last three events.
