Justin Rose put himself in with a great chance of earning an automatic
place on the European Tour next season with a three-under-par, 69,
as the players struggled at a gusty Sotogrande in San Roque, Spain.
Only 35 of the 168 players in the six-day marathon European qualifying school
will earn cards for next season's European circuit
and after 54 holes 19-year-old Rose
is in 12th place on the four-under-par,212,
Spaniard Ivo Giner has a four-stroke lead on 11-under after round of 70
from English duo David Lynn and Matt Blackey, Scot Alastair
Forsyth and American duo Tom Gillis and Kevin Carissimi.
Steve Richardson also produced a 69
that put him back to level par,
while Irishman Philip
Walton had a disastrous 78 that left him in
71st spot on three over.
