A third successive level-par round of 72 secured Callum Shinkwin’s 12th top-20 finish on the European Tour after finishing in a tie for 13th at Trophee Hassan II.

Following rounds of 70, 72 and 72 the Bushey golfer had gone into the last 18 holes in a share of 17th place in Morocco, five shots behind third round leader Alvaro Quiros.

The Moor Park professional was unable to make inroads towards the very top of the leaderboard, but another solid performance saw him improve his position by four places and finish as one of only 21 players under-par at the tough Royal Golf Dar Es Salam course.

The 24-year-old made two birdies in his last round – at the par four sixth and 13th holes – but these were offset by dropped shots at the par three ninth and par five 12th.

Shinkwin finished six shots behind winner Alexander Levy and the result has moved him up to 113th in the Race to Dubai standings.
