The 41-year-old, from Armitage near Rugeley, carded a 12-under-par total over four rounds, having been one of the tournament’s early leaders.

It was eventually won by England’s Matt Wallace, who pressed his claims for a Ryder Cup wild card with a fourth European Tour victory in 19 months in the final qualifying event in Silkeborg.

Wallace birdied five of his last six holes to get into an all-English four-man play-off with Lee Westwood, Steven Brown and Jonathan Thomson at the Made in Denmark event.
