Ra\u00fal Quir\u00f3s and Jordi Garc\u00eda Pinto were less fortunate, losing their chances in the final holes. Jordi Garc\u00eda del Moral was fifth with a final round of -3 for a total of -17. The winner, Englishman David Dixon, won with -21. The final day was more exciting for Adri\u00e1n Otaegui (23rd, par for -9) and, above all, Agust\u00edn Domingo (20th, -5 for -10), who knew he had to take a risk and did so: two eagles crowned his performance. Things were worse for Ra\u00fal Quir\u00f3s (41st, par for -5) and Jordi Garc\u00eda Pinto (41st, +5 for -5).     <\/p>\n<p>The former needed a round of -2 to have a chance, while the latter experienced his worst day in the event. The five Spanish players who had made the cut on the fourth day -Adri\u00e1n Otaegui, Jordi Garc\u00eda del Moral, Jordi Garc\u00eda Pinto, Agust\u00edn Domingo and Ra\u00fal Quir\u00f3s- maintained their real chances of reaching the top 30 with only 18 holes left to the end of the School. Jordi Garc\u00eda del Moral and Jordi Garc\u00eda Pinto were the big winners of the fifth day thanks to cards of 68 strokes (-4) for totals of -14 and -10, respectively.  <\/p>\n<p>With these records, both took an important step forward, which in the case of the Catalan did not materialize.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Five Spaniards made the cut<\/p>\n<p>Adri\u00e1n Otaegui, Jordi Garc\u00eda del Moral, Jordi Garc\u00eda Pinto, Agust\u00edn Domingo and Ra\u00fal Quir\u00f3s passed the cut made at the end of the fourth day, which ended with the options of Alfredo Garc\u00eda-Heredia, Pedro Oriol, \u00c1lvaro Velasco and Manuel Quir\u00f3s. A total of 70 players passed the cut. With a round of 66 strokes (-6), Adri\u00e1n Otaegui climbed to sixth place (272), from where he started with a good cushion for the last two rounds. Jordi Garc\u00eda del Moral (274) was also in a card position. In addition to the aforementioned Spaniards, out of the cut were players who know what it is to win on the European Tour &#8211; the Argentine Ariel Ca\u00f1ete (one win), the Swede Jarmo Sandelin (5) or the Englishman Nick Dougherty (3) &#8211; which illustrates the toughness of this School Final. The third day of the school saw Jordi Garc\u00eda del Moral (-4 for -11 overall) and Agust\u00edn Domingo (-3 for -7) climb up the rankings. Earlier, the first two rounds left Jordi Garc\u00eda Pinto -local player- and Ra\u00fal Quir\u00f3s placed in the top ten of the standings with 8 strokes under par. Equally well positioned were Jordi Garc\u00eda del Moral (-7) and Adri\u00e1n Otaegui (-6).       <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jordi Garc\u00eda del Moral, Agust\u00edn Domingo and Adri\u00e1n Otaegui (in the photograph) have obtained the European Tour Men&#8217;s Tour card by qualifying in the top 30 of the Final of the Qualifying School, which has been played at the PGA de Catalunya (Girona).
