European Tour Final Qualifying School
DRYSDALE LEADS SCOTS INTO FINAL
TWO ROUNDS AT SAN ROQUE
Dunbar’s David Drysdale is sharing second place with two rounds to go in the European Tour Final Qualifying School at San Roque on the Costa del Solin Spain.
Drysdale had a fourth-round 68 for a 10-under-par tally of 278, a score bettered only by Brazilian Alexandre Rocha who shot a 66 for 11-under-par 277.
Euan Little from Portpatrick had a 67 to move up to joint 40th position on 288. With only the leading 30 and ties after six rounds gaining playing rights on next year’s European Tour (which actually starts this year!) , Little needs to improve 10 places over the final 36 holes at San Roque.
Scott Henderson and amateur George Murray are a shot behind Little on the 289 mark and obviously they need to improve a shade more than Euan does.
Henderson had a fourth-round 73 while Murray returned a 72.
Andrew Oldcorn (291) beat the 72-hole cut with nothing to spare but
Three Scots were eliminated – Scottish professional champion and former European Tour player Dean Robertson (four-over-par 292), former Scottish amateur champion Andrew McArthur (293) and Eric Ramsay (296).
