Kelly top pupil at Q-School

John Kelly repaid the faith shown in him by Padraig Harrington when he fired a second round 68 to keep his European Tour dream alive at the first stage of the Qualifying School.

Harrington and Kelly in the Irish PGA at The European Club, 2009Harrington and his brother Tadhg have been guiding Kelly's progress behind the scenes and his hard work with "Harrington Golf" looks to be paying off at The Oxfordshire.

A four under par effort left the 38 year old St Margarets man tied for fifth place on six under par with the top 27 and ties progressing to November's second stage.

It was a good day all round for the Irish with Michael Collins (69) and Waterville's David Higgins (71) tied for seventh at the English venue on five under.

Douglas' Peter O'Keeffe (69) and Limerick's Tim Rice (70) are also inside the qualifying spots in 19th and 24th place with amateur Cian Curley (69), US exile Chris Devlin (70) and Damien Mooney (70) all within a shot of the top 27 on one under.

At the continental venues, Mallow's Mervyn Owens added a 72 to his opening 67 at Fleesensee near Berlin to share sixth place on five under.

With the top 26 and ties progressing, Walker Cup star Niall Kearney is well placed after a level par 72 left the Royal Dublin amateur just outside the green zone in a tie for 29th on one under.

Another 26 will through at Golf de Moliets in southwest France with Australia based Eddie Barr in 13th after a 70 with Limerick's Cian McNamara a stroke further back in 18th thanks to a sizzling 68.

At least 27 qualify will qualify Circolo Golf Bogogno in Italy where Rosapenna amateur Ruaidhri McGee hit a two under 70 to share 27th on level par.

But the Island's David Rawluk has work to do at the Milan track where he is nine shots off the pace after second round 76.

The goal is to make November's final stage, where the top 30 after six rounds earn tour cards for 2010.
