Star Indian golfer Jyoti Randhawa made a gallant comeback with a well-compiled round of six-under 66 propelling him to a tied-third finish at the Euros�747,020 Caltex Masters, played at the par-72 Laguna National G & CC.�

Randhawa's tournament aggregate stood at 12-under 276 and he got to take home Euros 41,563.

Earlier in the tournament, Randhawa, who was tied-second at the mid-way stage, had shot a 74 on day three to slip down the leader-board.

The legendary European Tour star Colin Montgomerie ran away with the title courtesy a final round 65 and a tournament tally of 16-under 272.� The winner pocketed Euros 123,041.

Greg Hanrahan finished second three strokes behind the winner at 275, while Nick O'Her finished tied with Randhawa at 276.�

Arjun Singh, the other Indian in the fray, finished 73rd. Arjun tallied six-over 294 for the week.

Randhawa's golfing career has been on an upswing for the past two years.�The Indian won the Order of Merit title on the Asian PGA Tour in 2002.�He followed it up with a win at the Suntory Open on his Rookie season on the Japanese PGA Tour in 2003.� Earlier this year, Randhawa finished tied-second at the Johnny Walker Classic and now he another feather on his cap.

Randhawa's final round today saw him make the turn at two-under courtesy back-to-back birdies on the eighth and ninth.�A dropped shot on the tenth was followed by an eagle on the following hole.�Thereafter the 31-year old birdied the 12th, 14th, 15th and 17th with a bogey on the 13th, handing him a card of 66.

"I am pretty pleased with the way I played.�It would have been nice if I could have won though," said the Indian, who had as many as 20 birdies this week, three more than the winner Montgomerie.

Arjun Singh's was a sad tale.� The Delhi-based pro had bogeys on the fifth, 15th, 17th and 18th with a triple bogey on the ninth undoing any good an eagle on the fourth would have done.�

Arjun shot a 77 and earned Euros 1,101.

Montgomerie's round was error free and studded with seven birdies, these coming on the first, second, fifth, seventh, 13th, 15th and 17th.
