Irish hopefuls’ final push at Tour’s Q School
The 72-hole qualifier at four different venues has tested the nerve and skill of 380 players seeking the approximately 80 spots on offer in the six-round marathon, beginning at Catalunya, near Girona on Saturday next. A minimum of 16 places will be available at each of the four courses.
Neil Ó Briain from Royal Dublin, a former amateur international, is best positioned going into today’s final round. So far, he has compiled commendably steady rounds of 69, 72 and 71 for a share of ninth on seven under par 212 at La Manga, yesterday’s fine effort highlighted by four birdies in a row from the third.
