Tour school fillip for Philip

Philip Waugh guaranteed his spot in PGA North's seven Order of Merit tournaments this season when he won the second of two qualifying schools at Yorkshire club Normanton.

And the Hexham assistant achieved it in style with a flawless seven-under-par 65 containing an eagle at the 15th hole to match up with five birdies.

James Freeman, from Doncaster resort Owston Hall where one of the ranking events will be staged on September 9-10, was runner-up with a 68.

Nigel Parkinson, from Loxley Driving Range in Sheffield, tied third with John Mellor, professional at York club Oaks.
