European Tour Final Qualifying School Day Five

DAVID DRYSDALE BEST PLACED
OF SCOTS AT SAN ROQUE

David Drysdale shot a third-round 69 to be joint sixth in the European Tour Final Qualifying School after the San Roque No 1 course came into play for the first time.
It had dried out from the torrential rain last week which rendered it unplayable, leaving the No 2 course to bear the brunt of the 156 players playing their first two rounds.
Gareth Wright, the West Linton-based Welshman, was in joint 23rd place going into the fourth round after a 70 for 215.
Scott Henderson is sharing 33rd place after a 72 for level par 216. There are only 30 cards up for grabs at the completion of six rounds so the Aberdonian needs to make a move up the standings to avoid piling the pressure on himself in the final round.
Former Scottish amateur champion George Murray, playing as an amateur, has done well since saddling himself with an opening round of 77. He has followed that up with 71 and 69 to be sharing 44th place on 217.
Andrew Oldcorn had a 73 for 218 and Dean Robertson a second-successive 71 for 222. Like George Murray, Dean gave himself a lot of ground to make up after a disappointing opening round of 78.
Andrew McArthur, another former Scottish amateur champion, has lost form at the wrong time. He is back in a share of 88th place after a 74 for 221. He has not shot better than 73 in his first three rounds.
