Michael Hoey secured his European Tour card in November

Northern Ireland's Michael Hoey fired a final round of level-par 71 to finish in a tie for 12th position on nine under par at the Joburg Open on Sunday.

The Belfast player started the day just two shots off the lead and a birdie at the sixth hole kept him in contention.

A double-bogey seven at the eighth put pay to any lingering hopes of victory but a birdie at the 15th secured a level-par round which included 15 pars.

Dane Anders Hansen won on 15 under, one ahead of South Africa's Andrew McLardy.

David Drysdale of Scotland was third on 13 under.
