Final shot for fighting Irish

Peter Lawrie is the best-placed Irishman heading into today’s final round of Qualifying School at PGA Catalunya resort in Girona.

The Dubliner jumped eight places yesterday to tie for 29th, but he still has work to do to finish inside the top 25 and ties today and regain his European Tour card for 2015.

The 2008 Spanish Open winner wasn’t best pleased with his round of 72 yesterday as four bogeys, three on the back nine sees him 12 shots off the lead held by 17-year-old Italian wonderkid Renato Paratore.
