Ellon-based Ross Cameron achieved his highest finish so far on the EPD Tour and picked up his biggest cheque in Morocco with a joint seventh place finish in the Al Maaden Classic at Marrakesh.
Cameron, sponsored by Saltire Energy, had five birdies in a closing round of one-under--par 71 for a six-under total of 210.
But he will be kicking himself for running up a double bogey 5 at the short 12th. A par at that hole would have seen him tie for third place at eight under par and almost double the 966 Euros he did earn.
Paul O'Hara (Colville Park) and Murrayshall's Gavin Dear finished jt 28th on 217 and jt 31st on 218 respectively. O'Hara earned 351 Euros, Dear 332 Euros.
Like Cameron, O'Hara will be rueing a costly late slip in his final round - a triple bogey 7 at the 18th on his way to a 75 (34-41).
Dear had the same score in roller-coaster fashion with one eagle, four birdies, two double bogey 6s and a quadruple bogey 7 at a short hole.
Winner of the tournament by six strokes was Germany's Marcel Haremza from near Munich. He shot 65, 65 and 68 for 18-under-par 198.
