Final Round Highlights
Cameron Percy, who shared the 54-hole lead with Kelly, was unable to break 70 over the weekend after carding 63 and 68 across the first two days. The Australian's even-par fourth round meant he shared second place alongside South Africa's Darren Fichardt and America's Matt Gogel, with the latter notching a closing seven-under 63.
Scotland's Stephen Gallacher finished outright fifth on six under par, the highest-placed European. He narrowly edged Gogel for the round of the day by signing for an eight-under 62.
Gallacher, a four-time winner on the DP World Tour between 2004 and 2019, went out in 31 with five birdies across his front nine. Gains at the 10th and 11th left him seven under on the day before he bounced back from a solitary bogey at the 12th by picking up a shot at the 13th and ending with a final birdie.
