European Tour Qualifying School

A flawless six under par 66 over the New Course at San Roque Club gave Spain’s Pablo Larrazabal the second round lead in The European Tour Qualifying School – Final Stage.

Larrazabal birdied the opening hole and never looked back as he established a one stroke lead over Portugal’s Tiago Cruz and South African Thomas Aiken. Austrian Roland Steiner continued his good progress to lie at five under par after a round of 70 on the Old Course while Peter Senior, at 48 the oldest player in the field with four European Tour titles under his belt, is shot further back in the group on four under par after shooting an outstanding 67 in testing conditions on the Costa del Sol.
