SHANGHAI, April 30 -- Indian Gaurav Ghei won the Pine Valley Beijing Open by two shots with a near-perfect final round of three-under-par 69 yesterday.

Ghei fired a blemish free round with three birdies for a winning total of 14-under-par 274 at the Pine Valley Golf Resort and Country Club.

Australia's Adam Blyth shot 71 to finish in second.

Thai Thaworn Wiratchant shot a 70 and his compatriot Chapchai Nirat carded a 68 to finish in equal third with a four-round total of 277.

The 38-year-old Ghei recorded his third win in Asia and walked away with the top prize of US$79,250. Ghei now sits seventh on the Asian Tour's UBS Order of Merit with total earnings of US$189,164.

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

The Indian ended an 11-year drought with a triumph at the Mercuries Taiwan Masters last year.

He birdied the fifth, eighth and 13th holes at Pine Valley.

"Last year was a great win as it ended an 11-year drought. But I wanted to win another tournament to prove to myself that my win last year was no fluke and to do it here in such a short span of time is very satisfying indeed. I put in a lot of hard work and it feels great to win it again," said Ghei who had previously won the 1995 Gadgil Western Masters.

"I would like to dedicate this win to my sponsor India Cements. They've been with me for 13 years and more times out of that, it's been very tough as I've not been playing well. So I would like to say thanks to N. Srinivasan who has been like a rock behind me," added the champion, who delivered a top-10 finish at the Johnnie Walker Classic in March. He had made the cut in the past seven events this year before his win yesterday.

China's Zhang Lianwei shot his second straight 69 and finished equal 10th with compatriot Liang Wenchong, who carded a 73. Both finished at seven under for the tournament.

UBS Order of Merit leader Anton Haig endured a poor finish with a 78, completing the tournament in a tie for 58th while American star John Daly stumbled to a 75 in the final round and finished equal 29th.
