Tom McKibbin
Ireland’s trio of hopefuls faces an uphill task heading into the final round at the Second Stage of the Korn Ferry Tour Qualifying School in the US.
Holywood’s Tom McKibbin is the best-placed, tied for 42nd on one-under after carding a one-under 71 in his third round at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail at Highland Oaks in Alabama.
McKibbin lies four strokes outside the top 20 and ties who will progress to next month’s Final Stage following today’s final round.
Portmarnock’s Conor Purcell is two strokes further back at the same venue, tied for 55th on one-over following a third-round 75.
The race looks run for The Island’s Paul McBride at the Plantation Preserve Golf and Country Club in Florida, where a third-round 74 left him 73rd on nine-over, 17 strokes outside the top 20 and ties who will progress.
