A brilliant final round 67 has seen Tasmania’s Kalem Richardson post his best career result on the Asian Tour with a third place finish at the Indonesian Masters in Jakarta.

The 27-year-old, playing just his second year on the Asian Tour, was just one shot out of a playoff between former world number one Lee Westwood and Thailand’s Chapchai Nirat.

Richardson, whose final round was bettered by only Nirat on the day, made a disappointing par on the par-5 18^th to fall short of the playoff  by one shot but told the Asian Tour website he takes plenty of positives from the week.

"All in all I’m happy with the day’s work," he said.

"Seeing my name out there on the leaderboard was a big motivation and I was just trying to chase them down."

"I haven’t finish inside the top-20 in my last three events on the Asian Tour and I was really looking forward to this week."

"It’ll be nice to have my card secured early in the season and I knew if I can have a good day today, it’ll help to secure my card."

"But there’s Mauritius next and I’m looking forward to it."

Matthew Giles was next best among the Australians finishing T11 followed by Unho Park (T20), Josh Younger (27^th) and Sam Brazel (T28).

Like Richardson, Younger fired a final round 67 after struggling for the first three days. A second round 77 saw him make the cut on the number making his top-30 finish an impressive performance in the end.

Paul Spargo (T35), Scott Barr (T47), Jake Stirling (T62) as well as Marcus Both and Adam Groom (T67) were the other Australians to play the weekend.

Missing the cut were Matt Jager, Kieran Pratt, Dimi Papadatos, and Jarrod John Freeman. Peter Stojanovski retired after a first round 77.

Well that was close.. 1 shy this week but building closer to that win. Good job @asiantourgolf on another good event #IM15
