Hendry mixed four bogeys in his front nine with three birdies, but had just one bogey on his back nine with three more birdies to card a one under par 71.

The Australian golfer Greg Chalmers won the Championship after a dramatic three-way playoff with Adam Scott and Wade Ormsby.

Chalmers clinched the title for the second time in his career when he safely parred the seventh extra hole and Scott three-putted for bogey after the trio had ended the final round tied at 11-under-par.

Ormsby was eliminated on the third playoff hole.

Ryan Fox was the next-best New Zealander, finishing in a share of 11th on four under overall after a 71. David Smail blew out with a 76 and a share of 18th.
