Khalin Joshi closed the week with a modest two-over 74 to end tied 23rd at the USD 60,000 ICTSI Sherwood Hills Classic here today.

Joshi's earlier rounds were 73-74-69 for a total of two-over 290.

Newcomer Oscar Zetterwall became the first Swede to win on the Asian Development Tour (ADT) when he closed with a second consecutive four-under-par 68 to seal a three-shot victory at the USD 60,000 ICTSI Sherwood Hills Classic on Saturday.

The 27-year-old Zetterwall, playing in his first season on the region's burgeoning Tour, fired five birdies against a lone bogey to earn his breakthrough with a nine-under 279 total at the Sherwood Hills Golf Club.
 

His playing partner Toru Nakajima of Japan took the second place following a 71 while overnight leader Kasidit Lepkurte, the only Thai to make the halfway cut, posted a 76 to settle for third place on 283 with South African Mathiam Keyser (68) and American John Catlin (70).

Zetterwall took home the winner's prize purse of USD 10,500 and earned six Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) points courtesy of his victory, which marked his second professional win and first in Asia since joining the play-for-pay ranks in 2012.
