PAUL ROBINSON HEADS 11 SCOTS QUALIFIERS

FOR FINAL 18 HOLES AT EUROPRO Q SCHOOL

Only l1 of the 31 Scottish players in the field of 240 survived the PGA EuroPro

Tour Final Qualifying School cut to the 88 players with 36-hole tallies of level

par 144 and better.

They go forward to today's (Friday) final 18 holes which will decide, apart

from the prizemoney distribution, the players' rankings and how many tour events to which they will gain entry.

The Scots qualifiers were led by the relatively unknown Largs Golf Club professional

Paul Robinson. He shot 69 and and a seven-birdie 67 for 136, which sees him

start the final day in joint third place, two shots behind Irishman leader Mark

Murphy.

Ross Kellett (Aberdeen Asset Management) improved by seven shots with a 66 for 139 and joint

12th place.

Aberdour amateur Scott Crichton's pair of 70s for 140 made him a comfortable

qualifier in joint 17th place.

He is a shot ahead of Tartan Tour campaigner and Scottish Alliance champion

Chris Currie (Caldwell) (70-71 for 141) and Kemnay's Greg McBain (72-69)

Paul Cormack (Inchmarlo) slipped back from 67 to 75 but progressed on 142

with Carnoustie's Eric Ramsay (70-72) in joint 42nd place.

Par 144 was the limit qualifying mark and four Scots made it through with a shot to spare

on 143 - Jordon McColl (Scotscraig) (71-72), Malcolm Isaacs (Newmachar) (74-69), Kris

Nicol (Paul Lawrie GC) (71-72) and Graham Rankain (Drumpellier) (71-72).

The failures included Ellon's Ross Cameron who would have gained pass marks

if he had been able to conjure up a birdie instead of four pars for the final holes

in a 74 for 145.

Paul Lawrie's elder son Craig (71-75) and stablemate Jordan Findlay (77-69)

missed out on the 146 mark alongside Neil Henderson (Renaissance Cllub) (73-73).
