Arjun Atwal crossed the first hurdle and moved to the final stage of the PGA Tour Qualifying School as he finished tied seventh in the second stage qualifiers at the Southern Hills Plantation Club in Brooksville.
Atwal, who had four birdies in his first eight holes of the final round
could even afford the luxury of a double bogey and a bogey on 10th and 11th in a card of one-under 71 to march into the six-round final stage from November 28 to December 3.
However, Anirban Lahiri missed out.
