After a week where Robin Williams showed that he could go toe-to-toe with some of the biggest names in the game, the young South African’s challenge ultimately faltered on the final round here at the DP World Tour’s Turkish Airlines Open.
The 23-year-old shot an even par to finish with an overall 273 (65, 70, 67, 71) 11-under-par. It saw him slip from second place heading into Sunday's final round to an eventual tied 7th position, which earns Williams $63 690 (approximately R1,157,526.26 million).
French rookie Martin Couvra, who is the holder of a historic South African Amateur Championships treble, claimed the Turkish Airlines Open title with an overall 267 17-under-par.
"Its still a great week. If someone told me I would play like this at the beginning of the week, I would definitely have taken it. Williams told Independent Media.
“It's definitely heading in the right direction.
“I know I didn't play the way I wanted to and it didn't work out the way I wanted it to. But there's still a lot of positives to take from this week.
