Top Five Handed Tour School Reward - 01/07/2007

FIVE players from the PGA EuroPro Tour have earned an exemption to Stage Two of the European Tour Qualifying School.

The quintet have been rewarded for their status in the top five of the PGA EuroPro Tour Order of Merit after last week's Sweeney's Environmental Classic.

Matthew Richardson's win at Stonebridge took him up to third in the Order of Merit, meaning he is one of the five players who will bypass Stage One in September.

Richardson will be joined at Stage Two by Damian Mooney (pictured) , Daniel Gaunt, Chris Hanson and Andrew Willey.

Both Richardson and Hanson are in their first years as professionals on the PGA EuroPro Tour.

Stage One will take place in September, with Second Qualifying Stage being played from 1-4 November across four courses in Spain.

Final Qualifying will take place on 9-14 November at the San Roque Club in Spain.
