It would have been even better but for back-to-back dropped shots on the 17th and 18th — a frustrating finish for the 33-year-old who birdied both holes on Saturday.
Kearney is set to move up six places to 122nd in the Race to Dubai standings, within touching distance of a place in the top 115 and a full tour card for 2022.
Sweden’s Kristoffer Broberg, who wrestled control of the tournament with a brilliant third-round 61, held the chasing pack at arm’s length for his first European Tour win in almost six years.
Broberg shot level par to finish on 23-under, three shots clear of Germany’s Matthias Schmid.
Graeme McDowell finished in a tie for 22nd place on nine-under par, while Cormac Sharvin and James Sugrue finished their weeks down the leaderboard on one-under and one-over par respectively.
