North Yorkshire golfer Simon Dyson finished mid-way up the money list in the Cannes Open, which was won by Argentina's Jorge Berendt.

Dyson signed off the tournament with a two-under-par round of 70 to give the Malton and Norton Golf Club ace a nine-under-par total of 279 after earlier rounds of 71 67 and 71.

That afforded him a mid-point finish, but 11 shots adrift of winner Berendt, who finished one shot ahead of former Ryder Cup player, Frenchman Jean Van de Velde.
