PAUL Dwyer's bid for a place on the coveted European Tour remained firmly on course today after the second round of the qualifying school stage two in Spain.

With around 30 players from each of this week's three venues progressing to the final stage of qualifying later in the month, Clitheroe-based Dwyer is currently joint third at Peralada with an eight-under total of 136 after two rounds of 68.

England's Lee James and Peter Hanson of Sweden share the lead with nine-under totals of 135.
