Alps Tour — Teenager David Carey birdied his final hole to make the cut on the mark in the Tunisian Golf Open.

The 19-year old Dubliner was three under early in his second round at El Kantaoui before slipping back to level for the round and two over for the tournament.

He needed a birdie at the ninth to make the cut and he got it, adding a 71 to his opening 74 to make the final round on one over 145
