Sepp Straka was unable to keep up with the best golfers at the PGA tournament in Silvis in the US state of Illinois. 

The 31-year-old also failed to break free in the final round, last year's winner of the "John Deer Classic" remained in a tie for 61st place with a round of 70 on the par-71 course.

He finished the tournament with 276 strokes (8 under par), winner Davis Thompson needed 20 strokes less. His -28 under par was a tournament record.
