Hannah under pressure in fourth round of Final Q School


By COLIN FARQUHARSON
Hannah McCook needs to step up a gear in Wednesday's fourth round if she is to survive the cut to the leading 60 and ties at the Ladies European Tour Final Qualifying School at Amelkis Golf Club, Morocco.
The Grantown-on-Spey amateur has had improving rounds of 75, 74 and 73 for a 54-hole tally of 222 but her current position of T69 won't be good enough to qualify for the decisive fifth and final round.
After 90 holes (five rounds), the leading five will earn Category 5c membership of the LET and those finishing from 6th to 15th will gain Category 8 membership.
Alford's Laura Murray is slightly better placed in joint 35th place after rounds of 74, 73 and 70 for 217.
Airdie's Rachael Taylor (211), Vikki Laing (211) and amateur Alison Muirhead (216) are within the leading 30 after three rounds.
England's Bronte Law leads the field on 13-under-par 203 after a brilliant third round of 62.
