Justin Harding made six birdies on Sunday in the third round of the DP World Tour’s Qualifying School-Final Stage to card a four-under-par 68 on the Hills Course at Infinitum Golf in Tarragona, Spain.

With the two bogeys he made, he moved to 10-under-par after 54 holes of the 108-hole marathon and a share of eighth. He looks well set to make the cut after 72 holes ahead of the final 36-hole push to make the top 20 and ties who will win their DP World Tour playing privileges for 2025.

Up front, it was still Italian Edoardo Molinari in the lead as he followed his second-round 61 with a level-par 72 on the Hills Course. He was still four clear though, his 17-under putting him wll in front of Clement Sordet of France on 13-under.

George Coetzee dragged himself into a better position with a third-round five-under-par 66 on the Lakes Course. He moved to six-under and a share of 44th. Also on six-under was Neil Schietekat, who couldn’t follow his fine second round, instead making a double-bogey and three bogeys in his way to a three-over 75 on the Hills Course.

Wilco Nienaber had a one-over 72 on the Lakes Course, and was on five-over in a share of 61st. Justin Walters improved to a three-under 68 on the same course, and was in a share of 79th on four-under. Jonathan Broomhead continued to battle to score, and his one-over-par 73 on the Hills Course left him on three-under in a share of 94th.

JC Ritchie was on two-under and Rupert Kaminski on level-par – both with mountains to climb if they are to make the 72-hole cut.
