MacIntyre and Law only Scots within leading 70 after two rounds at European Tour Q School

By COLIN FARQUHARSON
Robert MacIntyre and David Law, joint ninth and 32nd respectively, are the only Scots within the leading 70 and ties mark after two rounds of the European Tour Qualifying School Final Stage at Lumine Golf Club,  Spain.
The significance of that statistic is that there will be a cut after Tuesday's fourth round to the leading 70 and ties who will advance to the final two rounds in the chase for a place among the leading 25 players and ties who will gain European Tour playing right at the conclusion of 108 holes.
Left hander MacIntyre from Oban has had rounds of 67 over the par-71 Lakes Course and 71 over the past 73 Hills Course at the Tarragona venue for a five-under tally of 138 and a place among the top 10 who are headed on 10-under 133 by England's Tom Murray (70-63) and Italy's Andrea Pavan (65-68).
Highlight of MacIntyre's second-round card was an eagle 3 at the 11th. He also birdied the seventh and 13th after an erratic first nine which included bogeys at the third, eighth and ninth.
Aberdonian Law, who has failed to survive the fourth round cut, having made it to the Final Q School in 2015 again last year, had four birdies and five bogeys in his second-round, one-over-par 73 at the Hills Course.
He needs to get back on the sub-par track if it is going to be third time lucky.
For the seven other Scots, it is a case of "must improve" if they are to survive the fourth round cut.
Chris Doak (73-71), Ross Kellett (77-67) and Ewen Ferguson (74-70) are sharing 76th place on 144. Ferguson had a double bogey 6 at the fifth after birdieing the first two holes at the Lakes course.
Kellett had five birdies and one bogey in his four-under 67 at the Lakes Course.
Connor Syme (72-73) and Grant Forrest (73-72) are joint 95th and under pressure to improve by at least 25 places over the next 36 holes. Syme bogeyed the 13th, 15th and 18th on his second circuit while Forrest had a double bogey for the second day in a row which nullified his eagle 3 at the 11th.
Scott Henry (78-69 for 147) and Duncan Stewart (78-72) improved on their first-day efforts but, at joint 124th and 144th respectively, have the proverbial mountain to climb to survive the first cut. 

Tom Murray, back in 29, shares lead 

with Andrea Pavan

FROM EUROPEAN TOUR COMMUNICATIONS Tom Murray needed only 29 shots over his back nine holes as a second round of 63 took him into a share of the European Tour Qualifying School Final Stage lead with Andrea Pavan, with 72 holes still to play. The Englishman arrived at Lumine Golf Club with the pressure somewhat off, knowing that only a top ten this week could improve the European Tour category he has already gained from his Challenge Tour exploits this term, and he was at his relaxed best on Day Two in Tarragona. The 27 year old’s nine under par round – nine birdies and no bogeys – came on the Hills Course, following his opening one under par round of 70 on the Lakes Course yesterday, and he was delighted to see some reward for his recent efforts in practice. “I’m feeling alright!” he said. “A few putts went in and I just seemed to get it up and down when I needed to, it was just one of those good days. “It’s such a long week that you have to be boring and take it day by day and not do anything dramatic – that said, I do realise today was quite dramatic! You don’t expect to shoot 63 so that was nice. “We’re all here for the same reason. The end of the year on the Challenge Tour didn’t quite go as planned but I flew my coach out to Oman for last week’s Grand Final and I played pretty well and felt like it’s been coming. “A good week this week would wipe out all the disappointment from 2017 so far, and the pressure’s sort of off me a bit anyway, which I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing. I’ll just keep doing what I’m doing and see where I end up.” Pavan, meanwhile, has been the star of the last week of Q-School, jointly winning the Second Stage tournament at Panoramica before carrying that form across to Lumine, with his 68 today on the Hills Course taking him alongside Murray on ten under par overall. The Italian, a four-time winner on the Challenge Tour as well as a past rankings winner, has struggled to find his finest form this year but has looked back to his best in Spain, going bogey-free for the first 36 holes at Final Stage to put himself firmly in contention for a return to the European Tour. “I don’t know what’s going well right now!” said the 28 year old. “I’ve struggled a lot this year but from September onwards I started to play better and this week I’ve been putting pretty well so that’s helped. “I knew today was going to be a tough day but my game felt good and I know what I’ve got to do, but it wasn’t an easy round – there are some strong holes and you’ve got to hit good shots. “It’s great not to have made a bogey but there’s going to come a stretch when I’m not playing well – hopefully not, but it’s likely! I’m just going to try not to worry about the outcome and enjoy myself. “It puts me in a good position now. The last few years on the golf course have been very tough but I think I’ve started playing better lately, my confidence has been boosted a little bit. “To get back on the European Tour would be a dream. Off the tee is my weakness but it’s getting better and I know that the rest of my game can compare to the guys on the tour so I need to keep improving but I hope I will be ready if I make it.” Also maintaining his form is Denmark’s Jeff Winther, who shared the top spot with Pavan last week and is only one shot behind after two rounds after his 67 took him to nine under par overall and into third place. Laurie Canter’s round of 64 was the best by any player on the Lakes Course on the second day and took the Englishman into a share of fourth place with compatriot Ben Evans and overnight leader Gary Stal. Stuart Manley is living up to his reputation as something of a Q-School specialist by moving into a share of seventh spot on six under par – the Welshman is playing Final Stage for the 11th time and has previously earned a card on six occasions, including each of the last two years.
