Scots need top-13 finish in Mallorca Classic

ANDREW COLTART'S EUROPEAN
TOUR CAREER ON THE LINE
OVER LAST TWO ROUNDS
European Tour winners David Carter, David Park and Sven Struver face a trip to the qualifying school next month after missing the cut in the rain-delayed Mallorca Classic at Pula Golf Club today.
Only the top 117 on the Order of Merit on Sunday evening will keep their playing privileges for 2008 and by missing the cut, three-time tour winner Struver (121st on the money list), former World Cup winner Carter (171st) and Park (166th) - winner of the European Grand Prix in 1999 on his second tour start - already knew their fate.
There was also an anxious wait in store for the likes of England's Lee Slattery after he too missed the cut, the 29-year-old from Southport occupying 115th at the start of the week.
Slattery had to wait and see if the likes of Jarmo Sandelin (119th), Steven O'Hara (123rd) and Richard Finch (124th) could overtake him over the weekend, the trio all qualifying for the last 36 holes.
Londoner Sam Little also had a great chance to move up from 136th as he shared fifth place going into the third round, but former Ryder Cup player Andrew Coltart (pictured above) needed a miraculous effort after making the cut right on the mark of three over.
Coltart currently lies a lowly 169th on the money list without a single top-10 finish all season, but the Scot - a one-time Ryder Cup player - is 41st on the career money list - the top 40 in that category also earn a tour card - and is just over £22,000 behind Seve Ballesteros.
Finishing 13th or better in Mallorca would save Coltart from a first visit to the dreaded qualifying school since 1993.
