New Zealanders Brad Shilton (Institute of Golf) and David Klein held their nerve while others faded to secure top 10 finishes in the PGA Tour of Australasia qualifying tournament at Peninsula Golf Club, Melbourne, securing membership to the OneAsia tour for 2011.

Shilton and Klein started the fourth and final round outside the top 10 but both carded impressive scores of three-under par 69, Shilton finishing sixth at two-under and Klein in a tie for 10th at even-par.

They had already secured cards on the PGA Tour of Australia by making the third-round cut, but the top 10 are also eligible for membership on the burgeoning OneAsia tour.

Josh Carmichael was the next best of the New Zealanders, finishing in a tie for 32nd at seven-over, while Mathew Holten and Nick Gillespie were a shot further back.

Carmichael and Gillespie won through to the final qualifying for the OneAsia tour.

The other New Zealanders to finish the tournament were Hamish Robertson (11-over, 50th) and Peter Spearman-Burn (12-over, 53rd).

Australian Neven Basic won the tournament by four strokes with a nine-under total of 279 on the par-72 North Course.
