Chiragh Kumar recorded a season-best top-5 finish at the Yeangder Tournament Players Championship in Chinese Taipei. Chiragh carded a two-under-70 in the final round to end the tournament in tied fifth position. The Indian golfer’s total score of seven-under-281 placed him six strokes behind the eventual winner Thaworn Wiratchant of Thailand, who won a record 16th Asian Tour title.
