Jeev Milkha Singh dropped four bogeys but still managed to finish tied sixth at the Chunichi Crowns tournament here on Sunday.

Jeev, who was playing his first event in Japan in 2008, carded a final round of one-under 69. He opened with two bogeys and then dropped two more on the back nine. But in between he slotted five birdies to stay under par for the third time in four rounds.

Tomohiro Kondo won the title when he birdied the second playoff hole to beat Hiroyuki Fujita. It was Kondo's fourth career title in Japan. Fujita got into the play-off when he birdied the 18th to match Kondo with a 67 and reached nine-under 271 in the regulation 72 holes. He settled for par on both the playoff holes which were played on the par-4 18th.
