Victorian Deyen Lawson has thundered into the Final Stage of European Tour Qualifying School by recording the best four-round total of the 95 players to advance from Second Stage tournaments conducted this week.
Lawson was one of just three Australians to move on from second stage in Spain with Nick Cullen and Ben Eccles also progressing from Desert Springs Golf Club in Almeria where Lawson streeted the field to win by four shots.
Other than a slight stumble in the third round where he shot an even-par round of 72, Lawson was in rare command, logging three rounds of 65, his final round consisting of eight birdies and just the one bogey for a 72-hole total of 21-under par.
New Zealand’s Josh Geary will also carry momentum into Final Stage at Lumine Golf Club that starts on Saturday in Spain.
Geary finished one shot clear of the field at the El Encin Golf Hotel in Madrid, his successful week highlighted by an eagle at the very first hole of the tournament and an opening round of 63.
Two other Australians are entered for Final Stage, veteran Richard Green and recent Queensland Open winner Jordan Zunic.
To be contested over six rounds, the leading 25 players plus ties will receive Category 16 membership of the European Tour for the 2019 season.
