Caldwell keeps card hopes alive with hot finish in Spain

Only the top 25 and ties will be awarded cards today and Caldwell, who was a disastrous five-over early in the first round, is pleased to have a chance.

Northern Ireland's Jonathan Caldwell.

Jonathan Caldwell is praying his putter warms up after he salvaged a poor day on the greens with a birdie-birdie finish that left him inside the magical top 25 with a round to play at the Final Stage of the DP World Tour Qualifying School in Spain.

The 39-year-old Clandeboye star, who earned his card at the Q-School in 2019 before winning the Scandinavian Mixed in 2021, carded a one-under 70 on the Lakes Course at Infinitum in Tarragona to share 24th place with the likes of 2020 Irish Open champion John Catlin on 12-under.
