John Kelly placed best of the Irish in Stage One of the European Tour’s qualifying school The Oxfordshirem booking his place in the next round by finishing on 12-under-par after a final round 69.

Kelly was joined by Michael Collins, David Higgins and Chris Devlin, whose 68 helped him squeeze into the top 27 on four under.

Douglas’s Peter O’Keeffe shot a 70 on the last day but fell just short with a total of 286.

American Ryan Blaum led them home with a 17 under total of 271.

At Fleesensee, Germany, Mervyn Owens (five under) and amateur Niall Kearney (three under) did enough to book their place in Stage Two, scheduled for November 20th-23rd in Spain.

At Circolo Golf Bogogno in Italy, amateur Ruaidhri McGee fell off the pace with a 75, but there was joy for Cian McNamara and Eddie Barr at France’s Golf De Moilets.

McNamara carded a 70 to finish on eight under, 14 adrift of leader Carlos Balmaseda of Spain, while Barr followed him through despite a 73 dropping him to seven under.
