Rahil Gangjee saved his best for the last and turned in a flawless four-under 68 in the final round to sign off tied 21st in the Pine Valley Beijing Open on Sunday.

Gangjee's card of 68, that was studded with two birdies on each nine, helped him end his campaign with a total of two-under 286.

The other Indian in fray, Digvijay Singh, however, had a disappointing day as he went one-over 73 to finish tied 51st with a total of three-over 291.

His rollercoaster round included five birdies -- a hat-trick of which came in the front nine -- against three bogeys and a double bogey on the final hole. 

Meanwhile, Japanese star Hiroyuki Fujita battled through a gruelling day to lift the title with his second straight even-par 72 in the final round.

The modest card was enough to ensure a three-stroke triumph for him in the USD one million event which was sanctioned for the first time by the Japan Golf Tour alongside the Asian Tour and China Golf Association.

With a winning total of 12-under 276, the 39-year-old walked home with the top prize of USD 158,500. Fujita's compatriot Shintaro Kai posted a 68 and claimed the lone second spot, while Fijian Dinesh Chand enjoyed his best finish on the Asian Tour this season when he ended in third spot firing his third consecutive 69 for a 280 total.
