Kearney trails Vancsik by eight in the Canaries

Daniel Vancsik has made just one bogey in 54 holes. Niall Kearney shot a third round 69 but trails Argentina’s Daniel Vancsik by eight shots in the Fred Olsen Challenge de España.

Vancsik, 35, consolidated his place at the top of the leaderboard with a three under 68 to enter the final day a shot clear of Switzerland’s Martin Rominger on 16 under par having made just one bogey in the opening three days at Tecina Golf on La Gomera in the Canary Islands.

“I felt very comfortable during the whole round,” said Vancsik, whose best season on the Challenge Tour came in 2005, when he finished 15th in the Rankings. “I hit the ball really well like I did throughout the other rounds, but the difference was that I did not play as well on the greens as I did in the second round.”

Kearney’s two under round left him on eight under par alongside the likes of Nick Dougherty while Glasson’s Colm Moriarty is a futher three shots behind on five under after a 68
