Final round of qualifying school at Randpark
RANDPARK RIDGE – Young golfers to make a name for themselves.
Local golfer John McClean will hope that home ground advantage will be key in his pursuit of glory later this month.
He will be competing in the final stage of qualifying school which will be held at Randpark Golf Club later this month.
McClean secured his spot in the finals with a tied for third finish at the Killarney Country Club last week, 9 March.
He was beaten to the top spot by Centurion’s Arno Pretorius who claimed a four-stroke victory ahead of second-placed Swedish golfer Philip Eriksson. McClean carded a three-under-par final round to tie with Canada’s Steven Lecuyer.

The objective of the qualifying school is to provide a ranking system for players which will enable them to compare themselves to their average performance.
It is a year-long circuit where players can actively work on their games, improve their standard and prepare for the transition to the IGT race to Q-School or the Sunshine Tour.
Players compete in different courses around the country and the top 20 and ties from each of the courses have now qualified for the final stage of qualifying school to be held at Randpark Golf.
