There was another Scot in the top 10 - Greig Marchbank (Thornhill) who shot rounds of 69-79-69 to tied for sixth place on 217. 
Robert Macintyre (Glencruitten) also did very well in this quality field to finish T11 on 219 with rounds of 72, 74 and 73. 
Jack McDonald (Kilmarnock Barassie) tied for 14th place on four-over 220 with scores of 66, 77 and 77
