Will MacKenzie, who won the title, in Reno on Sunday

Reno (US): Daniel Chopra finished three strokes behind winner Will MacKenzie, but still managed his career-best finish as he ended fourth at the Reno Tahoe Open Golf Tournament on Sunday.

Chopra fired a final round of three-under 69, equalling his best closing round at Desutche Bank Championships in 2004, to finish fourth and set to rest doubts about his ability to finish a tournament with a good round.

Chopra’s finish also carried him closer to the million dollar mark, as he now has just over $972,000 and is placed 69th on the money list making it by far his best year on Tour.

It was his fourth top-10 finish of the year and he has now finished inside top-25 in six of the 18 cuts he has made from 26 starts this season.

Arjun Atwal had one of the most roller-coaster of a round with four birdies and six bogeys for a two-over 74 that saw him finish tied 71st. With just over $438,700 he is 134th on the money list and needs to be inside 125 to keep a full card for next season.

Chopra had a bogey on third, but made up soon after with an eagle on fourth. There were birdies on fifth and ninth, but in between he dropped shots on sixth and eighth to turn in one under.

American Will MacKenzie birdied the final hole to win his maiden PGA Tour title by a shot. The 31-year-old from North Carolina carded a one-under-par 71 to hold off Tour veteran Bob Estes, who closed with a 72.
