Kelsey Bennett has company in Morocco after three additional Aussies advanced to the Final Stage of Ladies European Tour Qualifying School.

Queensland’s Justice Bosio (pictured) secured her place at Final Stage by finishing top of the leaderboard at one of the pre-qualifiers, New South Wales amateur Belinda Ji bouncing back brilliantly from an opening round of 83 with rounds of 69-69 to also advance.

West Australian Maddison Hinson-Tolchard and Kiwi pair Amelia Garvey and Wenyung Keh also survived the pre-qualifier to join Bennett who was exempt into Final Stage due to her finish on the LET Access Series Order of Merit.

Final Stage tees off tonight with the first of five rounds, a cut to be made after 72 holes. The top 20 players and ties at the completion of 90 holes will be eligible for LET Membership in Category 12.

In results from the weekend, New Zealand's Lydia Ko and Jason Day finished sixth in defence of their Grant Thornton Invitational title in Florida, Gabi Ruffels and Scott Dunlap finishing 16th.
