Scot Ewen Ferguson went on birdie blitz in posting an equal-best score of 64 on day four at the European Tour Q-School at Tarragona in Spain. Ferguson, 23 didn’t drop a shot to muscle his way to a share of 17th at 10-under par and six shots adrift of Dane Benjamin Poke who heads the now 77-player reduced field heading to the final two rounds on the Lumine course.
