Duncan Stewart won the 2018 qualifier, beating Conor O’Neil in a play-off, while Peter Whiteford and Jamie McLeary secured the other two spots.

Meanwhile, Euan McIntosh has left himself with a mountain to climb after carding a five-over 76 in the opening round of the Staysure Tour Qualifying School final in Portugal.
That left the Turnhouse player sitting outside the top 50 in a battle for only five cards in the 72-hole event at Pestana Golf Resort.
