Henry is only Scot to win Alps Tour playing rights for 2011

FROM THE ALPS TOUR WEBSITE
Italian Emanuele Lattanzi gave the right answer to his friends. He won the Q school Final one shot clear of the field at 16-under-par 198 with scores of 64, 65 and 69 to win the 1,000 Euros first prize.
More important to him, he is the No 1 qualifier for the Alps Tour next year.
His friends have been pushing him to go back on circuit.
“They were right, I will play next year and I am very happy with it. Today was strange, I struggled a little bit to stay focused on my game. Some holes I was there and some, I don't know why, I was totally out of the game. But I have more experience than many of these young players so I am still there at the end.”
Lattanzi won the Alps Tour final ranking in 2003 and could be the third chance in a row for Italy to grab the pole position next year. After fellows Andrea Perrino and Matteo Delpodio, the odds are good for the “Squadra Azzura”.
In second place today was Spain's Ignacio Sanchez Palencia (28). He played on Alps Tour in 2010 but finished 88th in the final rankings.
He already won on the Spanish Tour.

England's Chris Paisley got third place with a 12 under par total and confirmed his good results as an amateur. He will obviously be a good challenger for top 5 next year. He took the lead of “English team” at Q school.
As last year, many citizens from United Kingdom tried to be part of Alps Tour circuit and it is a great pleasure to welcome seven Englishmen and one Scot (Scott Henry) next year.
The cut for full membership category in 2011 was fixed at three under par.
Scott Henry finished joint 23rd over all at five-under-par 209 with scores of 69, 68 and 72.
James McGhee (Turnhouse) failed to make it, finishing joint 55th on 214 with scores of 70, 68 and 76.
Lee Harper (Archerfield Links), too, was let down by his final round. He tied for 71st place on 220 with scores of 69, 74 and 77.
The 2011 Alps Tour season will start mid-March with a tournament in Spain. Alps Tour committee is working on the schedule. More information to be published at beginning of next year.
