Irish golfers John Murphy and Gary Hurley earn DP World Tour cards after 108 hole qualifier

There will be two more Irish golfers on the DP World Tour next year with John Murphy and Gary Hurley earning their tour cards.

The pair had to qualify through a gruelling 108 hole final stage but managed to hold firm.

West Waterford's Gary Hurley finished two strokes inside top 25 qualification and shared a tie of 13th to earn his card.

Kinsale's John Murphy took a more dramatic route to qualification.

The Cork man was six strokes outside of qualification with 12 holes to go but remarkably turned in a bogey free six under par to make it on the cut line.

Hurley was on the verge of quitting the game but has now turned a massive corner and plays out of the same club as Seamus Power and shares the same coach as Shane Lowry.
