CHALLENGE TOUR ORDER OF MERIT.

With only 4 events left to play on the Challenge Tour this year, it doesn't look likely that any of the Irish guys will make the top 20 and gain one of the 20 European Tour cards on offer for 2011.

Colm Moriarty is the leading Irishman way down in 52nd place with €21,824. He is over €24,000 behind Lee Slattery who is in 20th place. Alvaro Velasco from Spain is certain to make it back to the main tour next year as he leads the order of merit with €130,863.
