Niall Kearney was the best of the Irish in the Desert Springs & Andalusian Tourism Tour Championship in Spain.
He tied for 16th on six-under after a 72 and finished 11 strokes behind Nick McCarthy in the Europro Tour’s season-ending event.
Brendan McCarroll went into the event with a chance to break into the top five money winners who earned Challenge Tour cards. But he ended up 15th in the Race to Desert Springs after a closing 76, his round undone by a quadruple bogey eight at the 15th.
