England’s James Morrison is in prime position to return to the DP World Tour at the Rolex Grand Final.
The Englishman lost his card for the 2024/2025 campaign and has been playing on the HotelPlanner Tour this season with the hopes of returning to the big time.
Only the top 45 players in the Road to Mallorca rankings are eligible to compete at Club de Golf Alcanada in Spain this week.
And only the top 20 players in the standings at the end of the week will graduate to the DP World Tour.
With 18 holes remaining, Morrison is looking comfortable with a three-shot lead over compatriot Euan Walker and South Africa’s Daniel van Tonder.

Morrison, 40, is a two-time DP World Tour winner who has clocked up more than 400 appearances on the European-based circuit.
At the beginning of the week, he told The Scotsman he could be playing in his final tournament as a professional golfer.
“If it doesn’t go to plan, then this could possibly be my last-ever event and I am happy with that,” he said.
“It’s been a hard year this year. Being on tour for so long, coming back to the HotelPlanner Tour has been difficult. But I’ve stuck to my task and I’ve really, really enjoyed it.
He added: “I’m a better person for it and that has helped my golf no end as the last three or four years on the main tour have been difficult mentally.

“It’s been a really tough time and the main thing is that I am better for it as a person. You know what, golf is not the be all and end all.
“I’ve played 438 events on the main tour and I don’t have to prove anything to myself. Yeah, I would like to get my card back, but if it doesn’t happen this week, then it is the start of a new journey for me.”
