Paisley prevails at Las Colinas

Chris Paisley prevailed to win his Second Stage event of The European Tour Qualifying School at Las Colinas Golf & Country Club with a five under par last day round of 66, taking the Englishman to 17 under in total, while 18 players progressed from the Spanish tournament.

Those 18 spaces where hotly contested for and a four man playoff ensued as Englishman Matthew Cort, Dane Christian Gloet, Australian Geoffrey Drakeford and German Sebastian Heisele all finished in tied 16^thposition on seven under par.

Heisele and Gloet progressed in 16^thand 17^thplace respectively, birdieing the second and third playoff holes, while it was Cort who missed out to Drakeford as he birdied the fourth playoff hole and captured the last qualifying spot.

The Las Colinas winner, Paisley, was consistently solid throughout the week, carding three 66s and a 69 on the third day to leapfrog overnight leader and compatriot Sam Walker, who had a disappointing two over par 73 on the last day to drop back to 14 under par but still progress.

Italy's Nicolo Ravano matched Paisley's 66 to join Walker in second place and advance to the Final Stage.

Across the four venues, a total of 69 players qualified to the Final Stage which takes place at European Tour Destination PGA Catalunya Resort in north-east Spain next week, where the top 25 players plus ties will earn their playing rights for The 2015 Race to Dubai.
