Busby keeps his flag flying

Shropshire golfer James Busby has cruised through the first stage of the European Tour qualifying at Chart Hills in Kent.

Busby, professional at The Shropshire Golf Centre in Muxton, Telford, shot a closing 66 to finish two ahead of overnight leader Matthew Baldwin.

It means he is one of 71 players to advance to the second stage in November in Spain from four venues.
