Simon Dyson threw away the chance of a bumper pay day with two poor rounds in the Great North Open at De Vere Slaley Hall.
The Malton and Norton professional had been well placed at four under par after the first two rounds.
But he followed that up with a disappointing 77 and 74 to leave him well down the field on three over.
The £133,330 first prize was won by Scot Andrew Coltart who finished with an 11 under par total of 277, one shot clear of fellow countryman Stephen Gallacher and England's Paul Casey.
