Ulsterman Peter O'Hagan hit a third round 74 to keep his Champions Tour dream alive.

The former K Club professional was tied for 34th entering last night's final round of the Champions Tour Q-School at TPC Eagle Trace in Florida.

The low-30 players and ties earn spots into open qualifiers at all co-sponsored events on the Champions Tour in 2008.

And O'Hagan, who has based himself in the US this year, was just two shots outside that mark on four over par.
