SWINDON ace Martin Sell has set his sights on reclaiming a place on the European Challenge Tour next season after winning the final stage of the HotelPlanner.com PGA EuroPro Tour Qualifying School last week.

Wrag Barn pro Sell finished the three-day event at Frilford Heath on 14-under to beat Scotland’s Michael Stewart by two shots.

A two-under score of 70 on the final day for Sell followed a 65 and 67 in the first two rounds to complete a comfortable victory in Oxfordshire.

Sell last played on the Challenge Tour in 2013 and is now hoping to win back a place on European golf’s second tier by next summer.

“I played good golf considering the long lay-off through the winter,” said Sell, who collected a £2,400 prize for his victory.

“I hit a lot of shots close on the first two days and coming in with a 29 on the first day really set up the week. I had been hitting it okay but not really scoring but started flagging it and that was it, I went from there.

“I have my sights set on trying to win a couple of EuroPro events and get into the top five; that is my aim to try and secure a Challenge Tour card for next year. That’s what I am playing for. I played Challenge Tour in 2013 and want to get back there.

“I played some mini tours last summer and that worked out well, but as good as it was I still went to European Tour Q School with nothing so it was all eggs in one basket. In the ideal scenario I will go to Q School with a Challenge Tour category already, so the pressure will be off slightly.”
