No golfers shot under-par in the final round when heavy rain and wind came in and created carnage on the course.
Not a single golfer shot under par in the final round on Sunday, and Y.E. Yang was the only golfer that shot a round of even par 71.
Amateur John Kemp of England shot a 3-over 74 and vaulted 31 spots up the leaderboard to finish T14 as the conditions got worse and worse all day, and Kemp benefitted from going out early in the morning.
To give more context on the conditions, the cut was set on Friday at 5-over, so anyone who finished 6-over or worse missed the cut.
Only two golfers finished better than 6-over total, with Alex Cejka and Padraig Harrington finishing at 5-over and going into a playoff. Cejka won on the second playoff hole with a birdie as Harrington made par.
