Simon Thornton in line for full tour card.

Simon Thornton is in line for one of the 30 European tour cards that will be given out tomorrow at the end of 6 rounds at the PGA CATALUNYA COMPLEX in Spain.Simon was in great form as he had made 6 birdies and no bogies after 13 holes.He had a minor set back with a double bogey at the par 3,14th followed by a bogey at the 15th.He held his nerve brilliantly to birdie 2 of the last 3 holes for a super 5 under par 67.He holds a share of 25th on 9 under par,which will be around the figure required to gain one of those precious cards for 2010.

The leader is still Simon Khan who added a 70 to hold a 6 shot lead from Walker cup player Sam Hutsby.Khan is 22 under and Hutsby is 16 under.

Gary Murphy got a terrible start with a double and single bogey at the 10th & 11th holes.He used all his experience to crawl his way back to finish on 3 under par 69 for his round and is still in a good position for tomorrow.His 7 under par total gives him a share of 34th.

Niall Kearney who has been performing great all week,had a set back today.His round of 74 was made up with 16 pars and 2 bogies.His total of 5 under par leaves him in 50th position and he will need to go low tomorrow if he is to climb into the top 30.
