DP World Tour First Stage Qualifying School took place at The Northumberland Golf Club this week, with 16 players progressing to Stage Two.
Spaniard Pablo Ereno carded rounds of 68-66-68-68 across the four days to reach 18 under par for the week and win by one stroke.
Scotsman Craig Howie, who had led through the first three days following rounds of 64-67-69, signed for a closing one under par 71 to finish in second place. American Nicholas Infanti finished one shot further back on 16 under.
