Dubai, February 3 Jeev Milkha Singh shot a rollercoaster one-under 71 to settle for a tied 19th finish, while Jyoti Randhawa's two-under 70 in the final round earned him a share of the 30th position in the Dubai Desert Classic here today. The third Indian in the fray, Shiv Kapur, turned in his worst card of the week -- 75 -- to tumble from an overnight tied fifth position to finish tied 25th with a total of four-under 285. Jeev signed off a shot ahead of Kapur, while Randhawa ended with two-under 286.

American Tiger Woods clinched the title by one stroke by turning in a sizzling seven-under 65 in the final round to total 14-under 274. The world number one reeled off nine birdies against two bogeys to emerge champion.

German Martin Kaymer (66) took the second spot, a stroke ahead of overnight leader South African Ernie Els (71) who was tied for the third spot.

For the Indians, it turned out to be a rollercoaster day. Although he managed the best finish among the the three, Jeev's round included two bogeys and a double bogey, which took the sheen off his five birdies -- four of which came in the front nine.

Randhawa, on the other hand, had hardly celebrated a birdie-brace on the first two holes before he stumbled to a hat-trick of bogeys from fourth to sixth.

He, however, managed to arrest the slide thereafter and sank in a birdie on the ninth and continued the fine run in the back nine. His backward journey, which went bogey free, was studded with two birdies. However, it was nightmare for Kapur as he managed just three birdies against four bogeys and a double bogey.
