BEIJING, China -- India's Gaurav Ghei carded a blemish-free final round of 69 to break out of a four-way tie at the start of the day to claim victory in the Pine Valley Beijing Open on Sunday.

It left him two shots clear of Australia's Adam Blyth on a 14-under-par aggregate of 274, securing his third win on the Asian tour and prize money of $79,250.

"I had a game plan of playing to my strength and that's what I did today. I told myself to go out and play one hole at a time," said Ghei.

"I hit the ball well and made it easy. I didn't make bogey, so it was just a solid round of golf. I'm extremely happy."

But there was little joy for big-money import John Daly of the United States who carded a final round 75 to finish in a tie for 29th.

Blyth was pleased with his overall performance as he took lone second position after two birdies against a lone bogey for a 71.

"I played four solid rounds and although I didn't win, I'm quite pleased with how I did this week," said Blyth.

Thailand's Thaworn Wiratchant shot a 70 and enjoyed his best finish of the season in joint third place alongside compatriot Chapchai Nirat who carded a 68 for a 277 total.

Local hope Zhang Lian-wei carded his second straight 69 and finished in tied 10th place together with compatriot Liang Wen-chong.
