New Zealand golfer Ben Campbell got hot on the front-nine on his way to a fifth top-10 finish on the Asian Tour.


Campbell made six birdies in his first nine holes as he shot a five-under 67 in the final round at the Indonesian Masters on Sunday, ending tied for sixth at 16-under, seven strokes behind the winner, Canada's Richard T Lee.

Starting the day in a share of seventh, the 32-year-old started with three straight birdies, before following it with three birdies in a four-hole stretch from the sixth to ninth, making the turn in 30.


His lone bogey came at the par-four 10th, followed by eight straight pars as his charge at the Royale Jakarta Golf Club stalled.


Campbell, who dropped one spot to fourth in the Asian Tour's Order of Merit, went 14-of-14 on fairways hit but just 13-of-18 hitting greens in regulation, costing him chances at birdie on the back-nine.



Danny Lee, a LIV Golf tour regular, was the next best of the four Kiwis in Jakarta, tied for 13th at 14-under, followed by Kazuma Kobori in 19th at 13-under and Nick Voke in a share of 25th at 11-under.


Lee carded a bogey-free four-under 68 in the final round, with birdies at the third, sixth, 14th and 18th holes.


Kobori made five birdies but his three-under 69 was spoiled by a double-bogey at the par-five 12th, after being in the fairway off the tee. Voke also carded a three-under 69, with five birdies and two bogeys.
