Seven Canadians were among the 16 players to earn Canadian Tour cards this past Friday on the final day of the Tour's spring qualifying school.
American Thomas Petersson posted a final-day even par 70 at Belmont Golf Club in Langley, BC to take medallist honours. Petersson had a four-round total of 13-under 267, finishing four shots clear of runners-up Brian Benedictson of Comox, B.C., Andrew Parr of London, Ont., and American Pan Singhaseni.
The top seven players after Friday's fourth round earned exempt status for the remainder of the Canadian Tour's 2007 schedule, which resumes next week in Victoria. Surrey's Greg McAuley lost a three-man playoff for the last exempt spot. He was one of nine players to earn conditional status. They included Greg Machtaler of Summerland, Tyler Pitt of Coldstream, Stephen Thomas of Vancouver and former European Tour winner Rolf Muntz of the Netherlands.
The successful qualifiers will now head to Victoria for next week's Times Colonist Open, which kicks off the Canadian Tour's summer-long run across Canada.
