Derry’s Ruaidhri McGee has work to do to make the Final Stage of the Korn Ferry Tour Qualifying School after opening with a two-over 74 at the Second Stage in Brooksville, Florida.

McGee made two birdies and four bogeys at Southern Hills Plantation to lie tied for 63rd in the 73-man field. Scores

He’s 10 strokes off the lead and five strokes outside the top 19 and ties who will progress to the Final in Georgia next month.

Four Irish players qualified for the Second Stage with Tom McKibbin and Conor Purcell set to try their luck in Alabama and Paul McBride at Plantation in Florida next week.
