Alan Dunbar fired a six-under-par 66 at Wychwood Park in Crewe yesterday to storm up the leaderboard in the first stage of the European Tour Qualifying School.
The 22-year-old British amateur champion from Rathmore soared up the leaderboard with the lowest round of the event so far -- and is in joint second spot going into the penultimate round today.
Out in 35, Dunbar collected six birdies in eight holes after the turn to come home in 31.
Cian Curley, who was the top Irishman after round one, kept himself in with an excellent chance of making progress with a 74 for a 144 aggregate. His only hiccup was a triple-bogey seven on the 15th.
Mayobridge's Barrie Trainor and David Higgins of Waterville are both still in the hunt as well, on 145. Trainor closed with a birdie four for a 70, while Higgins' downfall was a double-bogey six on the 14th.
Meanwhile, at the Qualifying School in Fleesensee in Germany, Niall Kearney kept alive his hopes with a 72 for a 141 aggregate.
Stephen Grant of The Heritage moved up the leaderboard with a 70, but Shane Franklin is the wilderness after an 83.
