India\u2019s Shubhankar Sharma completed a good week, laced with 18 birdies, with a Tied-14th finish at the Dutch Open on the DP World Tour.<\/p>\n

Sharma had as many as 18 birdies over four days. But the Indian also gave away 13 bogeys.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The finish would nevertheless give Sharma a big boost, considering he missed four cuts in five previous starts.<\/p>\n

After three birdies in his opening 71, Sharma had six birdies in a second round 71 and six more in his third round 69.<\/p>\n

The final round saw two birdies on front nine but he gave away three bogeys in his first six holes on back nine before closing with a birdie on 18th for the third time in four days.<\/p>\n

With a packed calendar ahead, Sharma will hope his birdie-making skills come good even as he works on cutting down the bogeys to improve on his 17th place on the Race to Dubai rankings.<\/p>\n

The other two Indians, Gaganjeet Bhullar (73-74) and SSP Chawrasia (74-77) had missed the cut.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Dundee-based Frenchman Victor Perez, 29, was exceptional in clutch putting and held off Kiwi Ryan Fox in a play-off to win his second DP World Tour title.<\/p>\n

Perez started the final day in a share of the lead but following Fox\u2019s great show, he was three shots back as he stood on the 17th tee.<\/p>\n

Fox double bogeyed the 18th and Perez birdied the penultimate hole and then missed a six footer for birdie. The duo went into a tie and a play-off down the par-five 18th.<\/p>\n

Perez also earns himself a spot at The 150th Open Championship this summer alongside Fox and Pole Adrian Meronk, with the top three players in the top ten not exempt heading to St Andrews.<\/p>\n

Meronk finished a shot out of the play-off after a 68, a score matched by German Marcel Schneider who finished at 11 under.<\/p>\n

Swede Sebastian Soderberg and England\u2019s Matt Wallace were at ten under, two shots ahead of another Swede in Alexander Bj\u00f6rk and Portugal\u2019s Ricardo Gouveia.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
