Corhampton’s Neil Raymond has advanced through the first round of European Tour qualifying school.

The 28-year-old professional, pictured, shot rounds of 70, 74, 70 and 67 to finish on seven-under-par at Frilford Heath.

That was good enough to book a place in the second stage of Tour school in November.

If Raymond progresses there, he will have a chance to win a first European Tour card at final qualifying, later that same month.
