Tue 11 Nov 2002Mixed bag for Irish challengersThere was a mixture of agony and ecstacy for the Ireland contingent at the European tour final qualifying school yesterday, as the cut after four rounds fell at six-under-par 280, 77 players progressing into the final two rounds to be played today and tomorrow at Emporda.Lancashire's Philip Archer increased his overnight lead to two shots after firing a 67 at Emporda to get to 21-under-par 265 and Philip Golding, who just lost out on his tour card at the Italian Open, also shot 67 to take over second place on his own, with Gary Murphy - who dropped a shot at the 17th hole - falling back into a four-way tie for fourth on 17-under-par 269, also after a 67.
