"I'll always take positives - I feel like I put up a good fight," admitted Humphries. "Apart from Ryan Searle, [Dave] is my best mate on tour, we get along really well, I know his game inside out.
"Considering he played really well I got close to him, but I'm disappointed because I played nowhere like I can.
"I know there are more European Tour titles in me, but I keep running into a fantastic player and I have to give credit to Chizzy. I'm happy to make the final, gutted not to win but the better man won."
