The youngster started the final round in the lead but labored to a level-par 72 as Northern Irishman Michael Hoey shot a brilliant 65 in the group ahead to win by three strokes on 17-under 271, his fourth tour victory.
Hoey started with a 74 but a second-round 67 and consecutive 65s swept him up the leaderboard. Ireland's Damien McGrane (70) finished second ahead of three others on 13 under and Manassero in a group a shot further back.
On his Masters debut as an amateur two years ago, the 16-year-old Manassero became the youngest player to make the c ut, finishing tied 36th and delighting the crowds. He did not qualify for last year's tournament.
