Shubhankar Sharma's Dramatic Finish at Italian Open: Near Victory

Shubhankar Sharma, close to victory at the Italian Open, dropped a crucial double bogey and a bogey, finishing fifth. Meanwhile, German golfer Siem overcame injuries to win his sixth DP World Tour title. McKibbin's runner-up finish secured him a spot at the 152nd Open.

India's Olympic-bound golfer Shubhankar Sharma experienced a rollercoaster finish at the Italian Open, narrowly missing out on a top spot due to a double bogey and a bogey during the challenging back nine.

Sharma, a two-time DP World Tour winner, maintained his composure in swirling winds and difficult conditions, starting the day at 10-under par. However, the crucial mistakes on the 14th and 16th holes saw him slip from contention for the title, ultimately finishing at fifth place.

Meanwhile, German golfer Siem made a remarkable comeback from injury, ultimately seizing the Italian Open crown. Siem clinched his sixth DP World Tour title by birdieing the 18th hole twice—once in regulation to force a playoff, and once more to secure the victory. The win was his first since triumphing at the Hero Indian Open in February 2023.
