Ang closes with a final round five-under-par 66 at The Serapong, Sentosa Golf Club where his four-day total of six-under-par 278, saw him end the week, 10 shots behind winner, Ham Jeong-woo of South Korea.
James Leow posted rounds of 75, 66, 71 and 67 to secure a tied-17th finish while Lee and Storm ended tied-56th and 67th respectively.
