Shiv Kapur rounded off the week with an even par 72 to finish at a modest tied 47th at the D+D REAL Czech Masters here today.

Kapur, whose four rounds were 71, 72, 70 and 72, opened the final day with two birdies in succession but gave away a shot on fourth.

A birdie on 10th was followed by a double on par-3 13th and he ended the day at 72.

Earlier, SSP Chawrasia, Gaganjeet Bhullar and Jeev Milkha Singh (76-70) missed the cut.

Belgian Thomas Pieters saw off stiff competition from Pelle Edberg to claim his first European Tour title. The 23-year-old recovered from a double bogey on his front nine to card a three under par 69 and finish the week on 20 under, three shots clear of Sweden's Edberg.
 

Former US Amateur Champion Matt Fitzpatrick, who began his final round with four consecutive birdies, finished a shot further back on 16 under.
