RENAULT EPD TOUR REPORT

Paul O'Hara earns 811 Euros for top 10 finish in Morocco

Rookie pro Paul O'Hara from Motherwell earned 811 Euros 50 cents in a six-way tie for ninth place in this week's Renault EPD Tour event at Marrakech, Morocco - the Al Maaden Classic, at the resort of the same name.
O'Hara had good first and third rounds in the 54-hole event but a second-day one-0ver-par 73 cost him a top-five place and possibly double the amount of Euros he did win.
Paul, a Walker Cup reserve and winner of the SGU Order of Merit in his final season as an amateur during which he reached the final of the Scottish amateur championship at Royal Troon, had opened with a 69 and he closed with a 68, the same third-round score as the winner of the 4,814 Euros top prize, Germany's Daniel Froreich who scored 71, 65 and 68 for 12-under-par 204.
Ben Parker, son of an English club pro at a German club, finished joint runner-up on 206 with scores of 65, 72 and and 69 for 206. Ireland's Stephen Grant (64-70-72) and Germany's Marcel Haremza (67-68-71) shared the second-place honours and each received 1,950 Euros.
