HEREFORDSHIRE'S David Park finished in equal 27th place at the Deutsche Bank Players' Champion-ship of Europe at Gut Kaden, near Hamburg, at the weekend.

The Celtic Manor professional had seemed set for an even bigger share of the prize-money than his eventual 29,373 euros, just over £20,000, after his first three rounds of 72, 68, 68 left him only six shots off the lead.

But a final round of 76 scuppered his chances and left him 95th in the European Order of Merit with total prize-money from the season to date of 167,291.10 euros (just over £116,000).
