PETALING JAYA: A double-bogey on the closing hole ruined Malaysian golfer Ben Leong’s hopes of fighting for a first Asian Tour title win in 15 years in the International Series Qatar in Doha.

Ben was just four shots behind leader American Andy Ogletree going into the 18th hole and in sole second spot on one-under in the third round at the Doha Golf Club.
