Niall Kearney brought his 2010 European Tour School Qualifying campaign in Girona on Friday afternoon following a level par final round of 72 on the Stadium Course at the PGA Catalunya. Having battled on Wednesday to make the cut for the final rounds the 2009 Walker Cup player could not make up for the setback of his fifth round 76 and so signed for 67th place.
Although Kearney finished eighteen places behind last year’s campaign he must gain some satisfaction from his competitiveness at Stage 2 in Costa Ballena Golf Resort and indeed for part of this week – having missed a large part of the Challenge Tour season due to injury.
With a medical exemption to be availed of next year the Dubliner can look forward to making an impact on the Challenge Tour next season if he stays injury free.
