Daniel Chopra had a modest finish with a one-under 71 that saw him finish way down in 66th place at the FBR Phoenix Open.

The result would be a disappointment for the Swede after he started with 66 in the first round. Chopra aggregated two-under 282 at the par-71 TPC Scottsdale.

Australia's Aaron Baddeley grabbed the title as overnight leader Jeff Quinney had a poor finish. Baddeley fired a seven-under-par 64 in near-perfect conditions for his second PGA Tour title of his career.

Chopra, who has now made the cut in three of the four events in 2007, has still not quite fired the way he did last year. He had five birdies, two bogeys and one double bogey in his 71 in the final round.

Baddeley, 25, trailed Quinney, also a Scottsdale resident, by two strokes overnight. However, he birdied four of the last six holes to finish on 21-under 263.

Quinney, who led the tournament after the second and third rounds was two ahead with two holes to play but bogeyed 17 and 18 for a 68 and third place at 19 under.

John Rollins rose to second spot by shooting the best card of the day at 63.
