The event also brought joy and agony for those fighting to keep their Tour cards.
The agony belonged to Welshman Rhys Davies, who had to stay 119th on the money list to avoid a return to the qualifying school, but came only 51st and slipped to 120th when Australian Andrew Dodt, having dropped five shots on the front nine, birdied three of the last six.
It lifted Dodt from 122nd to 117th, put England's Richard Bland 118th and South African Tjaart Van der Walt 119th.
Bland, who came 69th, and Van der Walt, who missed the cut, were not safe, though. There was still the South African Open to come later in the day before the issue was decided.
