European Tour Final Qualifying School Day 3


OLDCORN AND ROBERTSON BOTH
IMPROVE IN SECOND ROUND

Norwegian Eirik Tage Johansen continued to lead the day on-day off European Tour Final Qualifying School six-round tournament over the San Roque New Course on the southern end of Spain's Costa del Sol today.
As has been the format since Thursday - only half the field of 156 were in action. The other half, including Scott Henderson, Eric Ramsay, Euan Little, David Drysdale and George Murray, will complete their second rounds on Sunday.
The waterlogged Old Course should have dried out sufficiently for it to come into play for the first time on Monday when the whole field will play over the two courses at the same time.
Johansen followed up his 65 with a 71 to be on eight-under-par 136. Bearing in mind the lopsided state of the leaderboard, the Norwegian, at the moment, leads by four shots from Spaniard Carl Suneson (71-69).
The only Scots in action were two former European Tour players, Andrew Oldcorn, pictured above, and Dean Robertson. Oldcorn lost his Big League card only this past season. He shot a 70 today for 145 while Robertson, who won the Scottish professional title during a successful campaign on the Tartan Tour in 2006, improved by seven shots with a 71 for 149.
