Galway’s Liam Nolan is 18 holes away from securing his card for the DP World Tour next season after a third round 71 at the Grand Final in Mallorca.
Nolan remains 12th in the Road to Majorca rankings as the 2026 HotelPlanner Tour concludes this weekend.
The top 15 by the end of play on Sunday will secure DP World Tour cards for next season.
