European Tour Q-school: Testing time at School for Irish

Ireland’s quintet of hopefuls have work to do to make the 72-hole cut today after mixed weekends at the final stage of the European Tour Qualifying School in Spain.

Only Michael Hoey, who followed a second-round 79 with a one-over 72 yesterday to slip to 147th on eight-over, looks out of the running in the race to finish inside the top 25 and ties after six rounds and clinch a European Tour card.
