New Zealand golfer Michael Campbell enjoyed his best finish on the European Tour in almost three years to end in a 10-way share of 19th at the Hassan II Trophy in Morocco today (NZT).

Briton David Horsey beat defending champion Welshman Rhys Davies and South African Jaco Van Zyl in a playoff to secure the title.

Horsey, who led after a hole-in-one at the second, faltered on the 18th with a double bogey six to card a three-under-par 69 for a total of 13-under 274 and allowing his playing partners into the playoff.

Horsey promptly sealed victory with a birdie on the second extra hole.

Campbell, whose result was his best on the tour since he tied for eighth at the KLM Open in August, 2008, completed a final round 71 littered with three bogeys, two birdies and an eagle on the par-five 10th in Agadir for a four-round total of 282.

He pocketed 16,320 euro ($NZ30,340) for his efforts.

Compatriot Mark Brown missed the second round cut.
