DP World Tour First Stage Qualifying School took place at The Players Club in Bristol this week, with 19 players making sure of progression to Stage Two which will take place in November.
Englishman Robert Dinwiddie fired a final round 66 to go with rounds of 67-71-68 to reach eight under par for the week, four clear of countrymen Mitch Waite and Callum Farr who finished on four under par.
The 40-year-old is a three-time winner on the Challenge Tour having triumphed at both the Scottish Challenge presented by Bank of Scotland Corporate and the Rolex Trophy in 2007, and the Kenya Open in 2010.
Scores of plus four or better secured progression with the 19 players now having direct access to the Second Stage and the opportunity to earn their card for 2023.
The Second Stage of DP World Tour Qualifying School will be played across four venues in Spain from November 2-5.
