BANCHORY MAN MAKES IT TO SPAIN IN PURSUIT OF TOUR CARD

SCOTTISH CHAMPION ROBB GETS 

THROUGH TO STAGE 2 OF Q SCHOOL

Scottish amateur champion Chris Robb (Meldrum House) has added his name to the handful of Scots who have progressed to the European Tour Qualifying School Stage 2 tournament at four venues in Spain from November 7 to 10.
The Banchory-based player made it through fairly comfortably from the Stage 1 eliminator at Frilford Heath Golf Club, Abingdon, Oxfordshire.
He shot 69, 71, 72 and 72 for a four-under-par total of 284 and joint 17th place among the leading 23 and ties who qualified with aggregates of 287 and better.
" I had a scrappy last two rounds, but I did well to get level par out of the final round as I wasn't hitting the ball as well as I had been earlier in the week. But I scrambled well," said Robb.
Fellow Scot Jay Taylor, whose third-round 65 matched the lowest score of the tournament, failed to make it on 294 and a share of 43rd place.
Welshman Mark Laskey won 1,800 euros as the leading qualifier with roundes of 66, 71, 69 and 71 for 11-under 277.
