Paul Dunne caps remarkable season by securing Tour card
Law moved up a handful of places following his level par round, which could’ve been better had it not been for a double bogey at the 17th, while Whiteford, who played on the European Tour for five consecutive seasons from 2010-14, made a significant charge, posting a two-under-par 68 on the Tour Course which followed his five-under-par 67 on the Stadium Course on Monday.

It’s a well-trodden path for Manley, who had trials with Premier League giants Manchester United, Crystal Palace and Luton before deciding on a career in golf, because like a well-inflated football he’s been bouncing back and forth from the European and Challenge Tours for all his 11 years in the paid ranks.
It’s the fifth time he’s come through the pressure-cooker environment of Final Qualifying School and while seemingly having the measure of a tournament, that has brought seasoned professionals to their knees, keeping a Tour card in his grasp after winning it has proved a whole different ball game.
“Am I interested (in going on)?” Edoardo Molinari, the former Scottish Open champion and Ryder Cup player, regained his tour card after an injury ravaged spell with nothing to spare as he edged in on the seven-under limit.
“Today was the best I played all week today only to putt really poorly”, he added.
He then had two birdies and two bogeys in the next five holes before finishing with another run of regulation figures.
Dunne, who shared the 54-hole lead at St. Andrews as an amateur, shot 10 under and tied for 13 at the 108-hole European Tour Q-School to lock up his card for next season.
“It changes nothing”, said the 44-year old, who has no plans to return to the circuit next year bar seeking an invitation for the Dubai Duty Free Irish Open at The K Club in May.
