West Waterford’s Gary Hurley took another giant step towards winning his DP World Tour card when he carded a six-under 65 in the fourth round at the Qualifying School Final Stage in Spain to remain in solo sixth place in the race to finish in the top 25 and ties.

The Aglish star (29) remained true to the mental game mantras he has worked on for three years with Cork-based performance coach Dr Edward Coughlan and rattled off eight birdies to go into the last two rounds just five shots behind leader Simon Forsstrom, four shots inside the top-25.
