After three rounds, DeChambeau was in second on 10 under,  two behind leader Rory McIlroy. Reed was tied for fourth six back and Lowry was tied for sixth a stroke further behind. (Bhatia was joint last of those that made the weekend at five over.)

Lowry struggled to an 81 on the final day and finished +4 for the tournament, the same mark as Bhatia.

DeChambeau briefly led but fell away to finish tied fifth on seven under.

Reed got closest to eventual winner McIlroy. His final round 69 lifted him to nine under and third place, two shots behind the winner.

All that put £41 in the pot.
