Lloyd Saltman, winner of the silver medal in the 2005 Open at St Andrews, came through a weather-delayed seven-man play-off to progress from stage two of the European Tour qualifying school.
Saltman was forced to return to Sherry Golf in Jerez on Sunday to compete for the final qualifying spot after darkness prevented the play-off taking place on Saturday night.
The 23-year-old had closed with a four-under-par 68 and emerged triumphant at the first extra hole with a birdie from 10 feet.
England's Matt Cryer and triple Challenge Tour winner David Higgins of Ireland were among those denied by Saltman's birdie.
Elsewhere, Spanish veteran Santiago Luna completed a wire-to-wire win at Arcos Gardens.
The 45-year-old, a winner on the main tour in 1995, finished 18 under par for a
comfortable five-shot victory over James Ruth of England.
Simon Thornton came through after a 72 while Scottish Amateur champion Callum Macaulay, fresh from helping Scotland win the Eisenhower Trophy last month, grabbed the 19th of 21 places on offer after a closing 68.
Welshman Mark Mouland, a double tour winner, missed out.
Jamie Moul, the former world amateur number one from Essex, tied for top spot at Costa Ballena with American Nathan Smith, France's Julien Grillon and Jordi Garcia Pinto of Spain.
Harrogate's John Parry led the home hopefuls at Montenmedio after a closing 71 gave him sixth place, nine shots behind leading qualifier Fabrizio Zanotti of Paraguay.
English amateur Dale Whitnell and Scots pair Craig Lee and Chris Doak came through on 282 while Bristol rookie Chris Wood, the Open silver medal winner at Royal Birkdale, progressed in 15th.
At Sherry Golf, former Amateur champion Julien Guerrier of France led the way with Yorkshire's Danny Willett easing through in 13th.
