ALPS TOUR REPORT, SCORES

DEAR GAINS EXEMPTION FROM STAGE 1 OF EUROPEAN TOUR SCHOOL QUALIFYING

Gavin Dear finished joint fourth in the weekend Alps Tour event, the Omnium of Belgium, today and that was good enough to promote him from seventh to sixth place in the Order of Merit.
The top six at the end of the tournament automatically gained exemption from Stage 1 of the European Tour School qualifying process which begins shortly.
Dear leapfrogged Spain’s Carlos Balmaseda who started the tournament in sixth place on the Order of Merit table but finished joint 30th in Belgium on 285.
Over the counting events since the start of the 2010 Alps Tour circuit, Dear totalled 17,988 Euros to Balmaseda’s 17,963 Euros which meant the man from Perthshire pipped his rival by only 25 Euros.
Dear’s rounds in Belgium were 74 65 66 and 71 for 276 and a payslip of 1,882 Euros. He finished three shots behind the winner of the 6,525 Euros top prize, Austria’s Uli Weinhandl with 71, 68, 74 and 70 for 11 under-par 273 and a one shot win from Englishman Jason Kelly who earned 4,432 Euros.
Steven Hume, Gavin Dear’s fellow traveller from Perthshire, finished joint 27th on 284 after a destructive last round of 76. His earlier efforts were 73, 67 and 68. He earned 609 Euros.
