STEWART AND CAMERON FINISH IN TOP 20 AT ALPS TOUR Q SCHOOL

By COLIN FARQUHARSON Colin@scottishgolfview.com Michael Stewart and Ross Cameron assured themselves of regular starts on next year's Alps Tour by finishing within the top 20 on the last day of the Final Qualifying School at La Cala Golf Resort, Marbella on the Costa del Sol today. But John Henry, after a 67 in the second round, ran up an 80 and a final placing of joint 62nd puts him well down the pecking order for starts on the 2013 Tour. Troon's Stewart, whose pro career has never got out of the starting blocks since the Walker Cup in September 2011, at last showed he could still string three good rounds together as he used to do as an amateur on a regular basis. He shot 70, 72 and 69 for five-under-par 211 and a share of 12th place. He had seven birdies, two bogeys and a double-bogey 7 at the long 11th in halves of 33-36. Cameron, from Ellon, Aberdeenshire, finished joint 18th on 212 with scores of 68, 72 and 72. He had one birdie and one bogey in a so-steady final round. Henry, from the Clydebank and District GC, shot 75-67-80 or six-over 222. He had a triple bogey 7 at the 15th and a double bogey 6 at the second. Winner of the Alps Tour Q School was Spain's Carols Pigem with a 13-under-par total of 203 (72-64-67). Joint runners-up were Alex Christie (England) and Walker Cup Welshman Rhys Enoch on 204 Former Stirling University student David Booth, winner of the Scottish youths championship in 2008 - and Englishman from Rotherham, finished in joint ninth place on 209. The top 38 players with 54-hole totals of level par 216 or better earned full playing rights on next year's Alps Tour. The remainder who made the second-round cut will be in a lower category of membership, which means they will not get into all the Alps Tour events, only those that don't have full fields of entries.
