Walker Cup ace Niall Kearney blasted a third round 68 in Germany to keep his tour dream alive at the first stage of the European Tour Qualifying School.

Mervyn Owens is looking good in BerlinWith the top 27 and ties progressing to November’s second stage, the Royal Dublin amateur moved into a share of eighth place on five under at Fleesensee near Berlin with Mallow's Mervyn Owens a shot further back after a 73.

In France, Ulsterman Eddie Barr hit a 70 at Golf de Moliets to move into a share of eighth on eight under par with Limerick’s Cian McNamara well-placed in tied 15th on six under.

But Kildare man Paul O’Hanlon needs a good finish today after a level par 72 left him two shots outside the qualifying places on one-under.

Ulster amateur Ruaidhiri McGee carded a 71 and is just inside the vital top-27 with a round to go at Circolo Golf Bogogno near Milan.

But thick morning fog delayed play at The Oxfordshire and just 76 of the 116 man field managed to finish their third rounds.

Damian Mooney was the best of the Irish finishers with a 71 leaving him provisionally tied for eighth place on two under but Peter O’Keeffe (74), Tim Rice (75), Chris Devlin (73) and amateur Cian Curley (74) all slipped back.

John Kelly, David Higgins and Michael Collins, who were all inside the qualifying places starting the day, will have to complete their third rounds this morning.
