SEVEN SCOTS AT ALPS TOUR SCHOOL

Seven Scots will be in action today on the first day of the Alps Tour Qualifying School Final Stage over 54 holes at La Cala Golf Resort, Marbella on the Costa del Sol. Ross Cameron, amateur Christopher Dougill and John Henry came through last week's Stage 1 and are joined by exempt players Neil Fenwick, Philip McLean, Paul Shields, playing as an amateur, and Michael Stewart. In all there will be 144 players from 17 different countries competing for 65 places on next year's Alps Tour. There will be a cut to the leading 65 and ties after two rounds. The third and final round will decide the player's category of playing membership. The higher the placing the more tournaments the player will be able to enter. Ross Kellett won the Alps Tour this year and earned promotion to the Challenge Tour through finishing in the top three of the Order of Merit.
