Web.com Q-School — Stephen Grant and Fergal Rafferty need low final rounds to make it though the First Stage of the Web.com Q-School in the US.

Former footballer Grant shot a one under 71 at St. Johns Golf & Country Club in St Augustine in Florida to share 47th spot on two over.

The top-32 and ties qualify for the Second Stage which means that Grant is four strokes outside the qualifying mark entering Friday's final round.

At Morongo Golf Club at Tukwet Canyon - Champions in Beaumont, California, Dungannon's Fergal Rafferty is tied for 50th after a four over 76 and five shots outside the top-30 and ties who will progress there.
