Three Irishmen are poised to make it through the First Stage Section C of the European Tour Qualifying School.

Cameron Raymond is tied for 15th on six under par at Circolo de Golf Bogogno northwest of Milan after he shot a one-under 71 in the third round at a venue where the top 23 and ties (five-under through 54-holes) progress to November's Second Stage.

Gary Hurley and Kevin Phelan are sitting pretty at Frilford Heath near Oxford, where the top 24 and ties (two-under after 54 holes) will go through to the next stage.

Hurley (25) is tied for third on six-under after a 68 that featured three birdies and an eagle two at the 14th.

Phelan (27) shot a two-under 70 to share 12th on four-under with John Ross Galbraith four shots outside the qualifying places after a 72 and Brian Casey a shot further back after a 70.
