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.
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 and cruise through as the top-19 and marched into the six-round final stage in California from November 28 to December 3.
However, another Indian, Anirban Lahiri tripped and missed out as his final round of 75 with four bogeys, one double bogey and just three birdies saw him finish at two-under 286 and in tied 44th place. Daniel Chopra qualified for the final stage in a spectacular manner after he birdied the last three holes for a card of 66 to move to 10-under and tied 10th place.
