OUT IN 30
I can’t stop updating you on Zander Lombard because it’s just so impressive. He makes the turn in 30 after another birdie on the 9th. He’s home and dry, basically, and is surely now on course to break every Q School record.

HOLES RUNNING OUT….
Eddie Pepperell now finds himself in trouble. No birdies since the 3rd on another day of lowing scoring is not what’s required, and it’s just got worse with a bogey on the 12th. Five holes left and he desperately need to take advantage of the two remaining par 5s on the Lakes course. Eddie is currently T25.

LOMBARD RACING FURTHER CLEAR
Make that -4 through eight (-33). This might be a six-round affair, but that doesn’t make the 10-shot lead any less impressive. The only thing stopping Lombard playing on the DP World Tour next year is a game of padel (we shouldn’t joke, as that was one very nasty injury). Maybe leave the racquet sports until you’re retired, though, Zander.

HANGING IN THERE
Frederico Biondi Figueiredo from Brazil is on track to secure a card having come through all three stages of Q-School.

ZANDER REMAINS -32
Our friends on the DP World Tour may have just make a mistake with that bogey – which wasn’t. Maybe they’re trying to create a bit of drama. There is none, not so far as the lead is concerned, with the South African leading by nine with 11 holes to play. Let’s focus then on the battle for the other 19 cards…

CREAM RISING TO THE TOP
So we have Lombard at the top on -31 and now Shubhankar Sharma up into a share of second, thanks for four birdies in the opening six holes of round six. The two-time DP World Tour winner, the Sir Henry Cotton Rookie of the Year in 2018, has been struggling this year but seems to have found his swing at just the right time.

SCORE CHECK
I’m not sure what the record is at Infinitum. Edoardo Molinari, last year’s winner, made it to -29 for his six rounds. Zander Lombard is currently -31. He’s just made a rare bogey. The South African has a good few lives to spare – no damage done. 96 holes, 10 bogeys, no doubles, 37 birdies, two eagles, 47 pars.

ANOTHER BIRDIE FOR ZANDER
I will at some stage refer to him as Xander – so apologies in advance. He is, however, playing like World No. 3 Xander Schauffele right now. Another birdie at the 5th and he gets it to -32 (officially the first time I’ve written that number).

DOING JUST ABOUT ENOUGH
Back to Eddie. Not much wiggle room. He’s got some bottle, though, and he’s going to need it on the back nine.

LOMBARD AWAY AND GONE
Zander is putting on a class performance. He’s yet to win on the DP World Tour. Does this count? I think not, not as an official win, but perhaps it should do… six rounds with the pressure on, very impressive stuff.

CHRIS WOOD’S STRUGGLES
It doesn’t matter what you’ve achieved in this game, sometimes it’s just tough – and it kicks you in the…. Chris Wood, another very likeable chap, bowed out after four rounds. At least he’s out there giving it a go, and we wish him well. He’s had his struggles, remember.
This was from his DP World Tour player blog last year…
“I was just riddled with anxiety and fear and tension from the moment I left home for a tournament. It was 24/7 during tournament weeks, I was extremely anxious and not sleeping and it becomes a vicious cycle”
Keep it up, Woody, you’ll be back.

EDDIE UPDATE
The popular Englishman, a player with two DP World Tour wins to his name, was quick out of the blocks to day with birdies at 2 & 3. Five straight pars since. He’s in a decent position, but he can’t afford many slip-ups, not with such a bunched leaderboard.

ELSEWHERE…
It’s a huge day in Spain, and some big names find themselves in a real battle for their playing privileges. Spain’s Adri Arnaus is one of those. The winner of the Catalunya Championship in 2022 finds himself at -18 (10th) and Eddie Pepperell -16 (17th).

GIVE ZANDER HIS CARD NOW
Birdie-birdie start for Zander. The seven time DP World Tour runner-up leads by eight. Give him his card now and let him go home for Christmas early.
There are fast starts everywhere. I’ve played Infinitum several times and don’t remember birdies being quite so easy to come by. American Davis Bryant is also -2 through two and well placed at -23.

CATCH ME IF YOU CAN
Here’s the man they’re all trying to catch in Spain. However, after that birdie at the 1st, it’s looking very unlikely that anyone will.

NEWS ON THE LEADER
Zander Lombard (now -30) has taken complete control in Spain and holds a eight-shot lead. What a fightback this has been. An ACL rupture and medial meniscus tear sustained playing padel last year put him out for almost eight months.
The South African returned to action in January. However, he didn’t register a top-10 across his 23 starts on the Race to Dubai and lost his full playing privileges.
He’ll surely about to put all that behind him. Starts the final round with a birdie.
