European Tour Qualifying School

McNicoll, Doherty and Cormack make cut


- now to clinch qualifying for Stage 2

By COLIN FARQUHARSON

All three Scots in the field for the European Tour Qualifying School Stage 1 event at The London Club, Ash in Kent survived the 54-hole cut at four-over-par 220.

Carnoustie's Keir McNicoll (70-210), Paul Doherty (75-216) and Paul Cormack (67-217) can feel pleased with their efforts so far, particularly North-east Alliance champion Cormack, playing out of Inchmarlo Golf Centre, Banchory.
He looked dead and buried after opening rounds of 74 and 76 but he raised his game by at least a couple of notches to shoot a five-under-par 67, one of the best scores of the tournament, to qualify with ease.
But no time for resting on laurels. All three need to keep focused over the fourth and final round to make sure they are among the qualifiers for Stage 2 on the long, long road to the Final Q School in Spain.
