HEREFORD'S David Park wrapped up a healthy pay-day by finishing joint 14th in the Madrid Open.

The Burghill Valley club golfer finished the tournament with a 68 to close on 11 under par and clinch a near £10,000 prize.

Price was seven shots behind South African winner Richard Sterne.

The 23-year-old from Pretoria came into the tournament 122nd on the order of merit and knowing he had to climb six places to save his tour place.

Now Sterne has a two-year tour exemption and is spared the ordeal of the qualifying school next month.
