Alps Tour — Castleknock's David Carey is just two shots off the lead as he chases his maiden win in the Memorial Giorgio Bordoni in Italy.

He followed a five-under 65 with a 67 to share third place on eight-under par heading into Friday’s final round at Pinetina in Como.

Italy's Edoardo Lipparelli leads by a shot on 10-under par from Lars Van Meijel of the Netherlands but the rest of the Irish missed the one-over par cut.
