2 players playing the last par 5, birdies would knock the 13’s out

True !

Actually, no, I don't think so. That would leave the -13s at T25 wouldn't it ?

T23 now. a bogey from further up the field.

Need 3 golfers to improve to knock him out.

He's the danger, with 2 par 5s to go, unless the other two still out on -12 were to eagle the last I reckon.

Yeah blomstrand hit double bogey on 15th so a little more breathing space.

The rest on T25 have finished so would take something special from the guys on -12 to overtake them all

Looks now like it would take two of them to do something special, as the -13s are now T24 (I think !)

Compare Sergio Garcia's attitude to that of Justin Rose and in particular Tommy Fleetwood in relation to the Race to Dubai glory. Of course Sergio is unlikely to win this but I feel that Garcia would not be bothered whatever way. Imagine if he was in contention for the R2D come Sunday and won it?

Winning the R2D should be one of the top list of achievements for any European player and be a springboard for future success into 2018 and beyond. I just felt he was a bit too dismissive of the situation but that is just my opinion. Paul McGinley was far from impressed with Garcia's comments on Sky this morning which I felt was very interesting for a man like Paul who would be quite friendly with most of the European guys after Europe's Ryder Cup success in 2014 where he captained brilliantly.

Ask García about the race to Dubai a few months ago or the fed ex cup and his answer will be a lot different. Asking him yesterday is like asking a football player if they will come back from 10-0 down at half time....yes there is a chance but it’s not going to happen.

Fleetwood was asked who he would back and he said himself in a less than convincing way, he is leading it and should have been more confident.

Rose was a ‘we’ll give it a good go’ interview. Before the WGC event rose openly said his year was at C+ level.

Birdies 18 to move to T25th.

Birdies the last. Time for a prayer

It could be but i thought there was a playoff last year. Cut line could move to -14 shortly.

Gavin still on -12 after par on 16.

Edit: yes 25 and ties.

Gavin bogeyed 15th. currently T28th.

Two par 5s to come, 2 birdies should get him top 25. 1 birdie may get him into a playoff for top 25.

Is there a playoff ? Is it not top 25 and ties ?

Quite a harsh post. He was asked about his chances of winning the race to Dubai and he gave an honest answer because they are very slim.

He was actually very positive about his year in general.

Very disappointing to hear Sergio Garcia being so dismissive and moody once again on an eve of a big tournament. The DP World Tour Championship is the concluding event of the end of another great season on the European Tour. However Garcia who could still win the Race 2 Dubai title sadly appears to have a "I don't give a damn" attitude. Once again it is very hard to like the grumpy Spainard with such childish comments. It is pathetic really.

To think we worry about our 40 point round and feel pressure in an average club comp.

The pressure sounds horrendous.

Nothing but admiration for guys at that level.

Gavin Moynihan (T-17th) and Ruaidhri McGee (T-58th) both carded 1 under par 70's to finish the penultimate round of European Tour Q-School at 11 under and 5 under respectively. Gavin will need to shoot a round in the mid 60's to finish in the top 10 that would give the Dubliner 22 to 25 starts. While Ruaidhri is 6 shots outside the projected mark of 11 under that as things stand would secure your European Tour card for 2018. The top 25 players by the end of tomorrow's final round will secure their tour cards so it is all to play for. Best of luck to both Gavin and Ruaidhri as this six round marathon comes to an conclusion.

Thanks for the updates! Hopefully they can score well tomorrow

Just a brief word on the status of Dermot McElroy for 2018. Dermot is guaranteed 7 invites as he is a member of Team Ireland Golf that gives out invites to some of our pros who are starting out as life as a pro. He will also get into another 5 to 7 events as he qualified for final stage of Q-School. Best of luck to Gavin Moynihan and Ruairdhri McGee though who will play in the final two rounds of European Tour Q-School with both players having every chance of getting their tour cards for 2018.

Gavin currently T-8th at the moment with the 4th round coming to an end after a bogey-free 68 (3 under) to stand at 10 under. If he finishes inside the top 10 after Thursday's sixth and final round then he will get around 22 to 25 starts on the main tour for the 2018 season. If he finishes 11th to 25th (top 25 players get their European Tour card) then he will get around 15 starts at least. If he finishes outside the top 25 then he gets conditional status which gives the Dublin man around 12 starts.

However there was disappointment for Cormac Sharvin and Dermot McElroy who have both missed the 72 hole cut. Sharvin has full status on the Challenge tour for 2018 after finishing in the top 70 of the CT rankings this year while Dermot has limited status on the same tour but has full status on the PGA Europro Tour a satellite developmental golf tour based in the UK.

Ruaidhri McGee needs to finish his fourth round with a birdie-par-par in any order to make it into the final 2 rounds. The Derry man is currently 1 under with the projected cut at 2 under.

McGee incredibly comes home in 29 shots (7 under for his final 9 holes) to give himself a realistic opportunity of getting his European Tour card. Ruaidhri currently at 4 under with 8 under currently the projected mark to get on the European Tour for the 2018 season
