It's always a terrible field for that event. Didn't they have an ice hockey player playing in it a couple of years ago and he shot 2 rounds in the 90s?

He's had more starts than some people who have their cards! So yes, only himselfto blame if he doesn't make it.

Looks like another missed cut for Peter unfortunately. Birdied his second last hole to get inside the projected cut mark and gave the shot back at the next.

He must be gutted. But with such a poor looking field this week, he really should have been able to make the cut.

vienne86 · 07-09-2015 7:54pm

He's managed to get into the KLM - when I looked yesterday, he was below the cutoff point.

Rikand · 10-09-2015 1:13pm

-2 for his first round today. currently lying T26th, though that will slip out I'm quite sure

Yes, respectable round. Very steady. Hopefully he'll ramp things up a bit tomorrow.

vienne86 · 11-09-2015 2:15pm

Was -1 for today, but just had a triple bogey - that could cost.

coylemj · 11-09-2015 4:44pm

Birdies on holes 2, 4 and 6 (his back nine) have pushed him just above the cut line. Projected cut is currently -2 where there are 20 players so it will probably stay at that number. No room for any errors if he wants to make the cut.

Had another birdie so in for the weekend.

That was some effort - had a round of -1 with a triple bogey in there. Fair play to him. Safely into the weekend. Cut could easily go to -3.

It's now at -3. Hopefully, it'll stay there as a smaller number of players making the cut means a higher likely finish.

That birdie on the last might end up being a card saver!

Strange round by Peter today. Started off with a bogey and then had 17 straight pars for a 1 over 71. Currently tied for last place with four other golfers.

Needs a good round tomorrow to boost his position in the Race to Dubai.

Another poor Saturday for Peter Lawrie - let's hope he ramps it up tomorrow.

vienne86 · 14-09-2015 5:27pm

I see he has scraped into the Italian Open this week - lucky man. Last chance saloon methinks.

vienne86 · 17-09-2015 7:31pm

Nice opening round of 4 under. He needs to do well this week - otherwise it's Q school methinks.

pistol_75 · 18-09-2015 11:00am

-5 through 10 today and -9 overall. Great stuff

abff · 18-09-2015 1:32pm

Nice to see Peter finish with a birdie to get back to 9 under. A good chance to secure his card for next season if he can hold things together over the weekend.

vienne86 · 18-09-2015 7:09pm

I suggestested it might be last chance saloon for him this week, and he has grabbed the opportunity with both hands today - great to see.

Goldenjohn · 18-09-2015 10:12pm

Fingers crossed he can back it up now. Needs a decent Saturday, he is due one

PARlance · 20-09-2015 12:06am

I thought no news might be bad news but a great Saturday by this years standards, -2 for -11 total sees him T16.
6 Shots off the lead but well within reach of a T10.

PARlance · 20-09-2015 2:41pm

-3 through 15. -14 overall and T14... Massive final 3 holes for him.

PARlance · 20-09-2015 3:08pm

Birdied 16, Par 17... nearly there. T13

A New earth · 20-09-2015 3:50pm

Well done 68, tied 15th at this stage, overall exciting tournament now with 8 players leading on 18 under

PARlance · 20-09-2015 3:54pm

Think that should get him about €20,000 and just outside the top 110 in the RTD by my basic calculations.

That could be correct, my guesstimate was based on him getting 20k... Another few grand and he would break into 110.

Surely he'll pick up invites for the next two given the way the year has gone and his position?

He's below the cut line for getting into the next tournament.

He's up to 109th after today's result. I doubt he'll get into any of the next three tournaments. He might get an invite to the Portugal Masters and he'll probably get into the Hong Kong open, but it looks like he may have to go back to Q school again.

That's what I figured. All very close at the bottom of the R2D rankings - only hundreds separating them.

Russman · 21-09-2015 9:20am

You'd have to figure he'll get an invite to Woburn too ? He seems to be well liked and surely Poulter or one of the lads will get him in............hopefully.

First Up · 21-09-2015 9:22am

He's at 111 according the the rankings on the European Tour website. About €2,500 off Anders Hansen in 110th. He needs to play at least once over the next few weeks to have a chance to avoid Q school.

Kevin Phelan at 115 - about €6k short.

They didn't have Phelan on the list at all yesterday so they were obviously missing a few more players with Lawrie dropping 2 places.

It will all come down to the last week in Hong Kong for them both.

Speak Now · 21-09-2015 9:36am

Looks like there might still be 2 sponsors places not announced for this week yet so he might get lucky yet.

British masters showing 4 invites currently (Paul Dunne has one), so should be another 4 up for grabs.

I would be very surprised if he doesn't play in these.

This weeks field seems to be complete now, Simon Thornton's 146th position in last years race to Dubai has got the 156th spot

Of course the irony is that even if you won tour school you still wouldn't get a place in The Dunhill or British Masters with the stronger fields.

Just checked the list and couldn't believe my eyes! Well with all of these chances, he really has no excuses.....another week like last week would be VERY useful.

I haven't had a chance to check if many of those near him on the table are playing but presumably some are not. At that end of things, even a few grand can matter hugely so if he can (a) make the weekend and (b) get any kind of decent score he could make it.

But yes, I doubt anyone without a full tour card has ever had as many chances.

Another factor to be taken into account is that some of the players who are currently ahead of him in the Race to Dubai may not compete in the required minimum number of events needed to maintain membership. I think this is 13, although I can't find anything definitive about this other than in relation to the bonus pool, where they recently announced that they would make a special exception for Rory McIlroy and allow him to play only 12. Maybe the general rule is 12 excluding the Dubai World Championship.

There are four players apart from McIlroy who are currently in the top 110, but have played fewer than 10 tournaments. Presumably Louis Oosthuizen and Luke Donald, both currently on 9, will play the required four (or three) tournaments by season's end. It also seems likely that Ian Poulter (8) will play the required 5 (or 4) tournaments in order to remain eligible for next year's Ryder Cup. Patrick Reed (8) is the other player and it seems unlikely he will play another four or five European Tour events this season.

abff · 23-09-2015 12:37am

After a bit more searching, I found this on the European Tour website.

A full Member in Categories 1-11 of The European Tour must play 12 tournaments to qualify for DP World Tour Championship, Dubai which by playing in would enable him to reach the minimum number of 13 required to retain full Membership of The European Tour. A player must compete in the DP World Tour Championship, Dubai to receive a payment from The Race to Dubai Bonus Pool and therefore to be eligible to finish Number One and win The Harry Vardon Trophy unless he has a Mitigating Circumstance*. Affiliate and/or Category 15 Members do not have to play a minimum of 12 as they do not have the right to enter tournaments and can only play on invites or qualification.

With him getting in through CAT 20 you can be sure all those around him will have got in assuming they entered.

I think he was about third on the CAT 20 list, so hard to know.......and how would they order that CAT20 list? Anyway it was tight and he's in.

Cat 20 is those that played the 6 rounds at the final stage of Q school but didn't receive their cards. He was high is this CAT because he just missed by 1 shot. Anyone else in CAT 20 wouldn't be anywhere near winning a card, they're not playing on the sponsors exemption card like Peter
