LLOYD SALTMAN IMPROVES BUT STILL GOT A
LOT OF WORK TO DO IN FINAL ROUND OF
EUROPEAN TOUR STAGE 2 QUALIFIER

Lloyd Saltman improved his placing to joint 27th with a three-under-par 69 in the third round at Arcos Gardens Golf Club, Spain in the European Tour Stage 2 qualifier today. The Walker Cup player from Craigielaw, with a 54-hle tally of one-under-par 215, needs to improve another eight positions in Saturday's final round if he is to figure among the 19 players who willo advance from Arcos Gardens to next week's Final Q School over the two San Roque courses almost at the tip of the Costa del Sol.
At PGA de Catalunya, 17 players will qualify and former Northern Open champion Jason McCreadie (Buchanan Castle) is well placed in joint fourth place on 216 after a third-round 68. David Drysdale had a 69 to be joint 11th on 212.
At Costa Ballena, where 20 players will advance, Graham Fox and Craig Lee are sharing 18th place on 211 while Duncan Stewart is in joint 36th place on 214. Worse off at this venue are Graeme Brown (jt 43rd), Ed Thomson (jt 51st) and Elliot Saltman (jt 54th) on 215, 217 and 218 respetively.
At the Sherry Golf venue, there will be 18 qualifiers. Euan Little is lying joint 14th on 213 after a third-round 70.
The Doherty brothers and Scott Henderson look well out of it. John had a 68 for 218 (jt 41st), Paul a 70 for 219 (jt 48th) and Scott Henderson a 72 for jt 60th place on 222.
