Golf stars Ben Evans and Luke Cornford came through the opening stage of the European Tour Qualifying School.
Staplecross-based Evans came tied second in the first stage section D event at Golf d’Hardelot in northern France, while Cornford, from St Leonards, finished tied 13th at Frilford Heath in Oxfordshire.
Evans began with a level par 71 on the Tuesday in which he mixed an eagle and two birdies with four bogeys, three of them in successive holes. A fine second round 67 containing five birdies and a solitary bogey the following day pushed him into the top 10.
