From sharing the first-day lead with a one-under-par 70, Herald slumped with rounds of 75 and 76 for an eight-over-par final total of 221 which gave him joint 26th place with a payslip for £320.
David Roger (Windyhill) and Mark Rae (unattached) finished joint 35th on 225, each earning £272.50. Roger had rounds of 75, 76 and 73, Rae 74 76 and 74.
Graham Grankin collected £212.50 for finishing joint 47th on 228, made up of rounds of 80, 72 and 76.
Englishman Stuart Archibald, 25, from Basingstoke won the £10,000 top prize at the fifth extra hole of a sudden-death play-off between the three men who tied at the top of the leaderboard on level par 213.
Archibald had rounds of 77, 71 and 65. Beaten in the play-off were fellow Englishman Matt Allen (73-69-71) and Australian Daniel Gaunt (73-69-72). They earned £3,750 each.
