A top-20 finish on Sunday in the HotelPlanner Tour’s Vierumäki Finnish Challenge at Cooke Course in Vierumäki, Finland, kept Daniel van Tonder inside the top 10 on the Road to Mallorca on that tour.

It was a solid, if unspectacular, week from Van Tonder, who has two wins under his belt on the tour this season. A third would see him automatically return to the DP World Tour, but keeping his position on the Road to Mallorca is equally important as the top 20 players after the season-ending Rolex HotelPlanner Tour Grand Final will earn playing rights on the DP World Tour. He is currently in eighth place.

Van Tonder opened the tournament with a bogey-free four-under-par 68. He made just a single bogey in his second round of two-under-par 70, but he dropped three shots in the third round when he signed for a one-under-par 71.

He opened with two early birdies on the first and the third in the final round, but dropped his only shot in the round on the seventh. He birdied the ninth, and then picked up another shot on the 12th.

At 10-under-par for the tournament, he was in a share of 17th place, seven strokes behind the winner, David Law of Scotland. Law climbed into pole position of the Road to Mallorca rankings after he carded a four-under-par final round of 68 to finish on 17 under par and win by two shots, with England’s Alfie Plant and Swede Jonas Blixt sharing second on 15-under.

Bryce Easton closed with a four-under 68 to finish on nine-under in a share of 22nd, and he is in 70th place on the rankings, with work to do if he is to make the Rolex HotelPlanner Tour Grand Final.

Wilco Nienaber is inside the top 45 who will make that final, in 17th place after his closing two-under 70 made up somewhat for his poor 76 in the third round. He was in a share of 39th on six-under.
