The tension has eased and after a nervous three weeks the qualifiers for the European Tour have finally been decided. The final round of Tour School was completed at San Roque and saw Carlos Rodiles of Spain and Brazil?s Alexandre Rocha share the title while the top thirty will be equally delighted to have gained their playing privileges for next year.

Conditions meant that low scoring was rare throughout the week and the San Roque Old Course proved a tough task under the immense pressure of Tour School. Rocha and Rodiles shot 71 and 69 respectively in the final round to finish 5 ahead of the field in the 6 round final qualifier. David Drysdale qualified on 10 under after losing his card by one place for the second year running.
