Gouveia illuminates Lumine
By
The rapidly progressing Challenge Tour apprentice, Ricardo Gouveia, tore up Lumine Golf & Beach Club again to card his second successive round of seven under par 64 at the Second Stage of The European Tour Qualifying School event in Spain.
Gouveia collected eight birdies and the sole bogey of his Second Stage campaign during a dazzling display of golf. His five on the 15<sup>th</sup>hole ended a fabulous bogey-free run which had lasted 50 holes throughout the first three days of Stage Two at Lumine.
The Portuguese winner of the recent EMC Golf Challenge Open now lies on 18 under par for the first 54 holes, three ahead of his nearest rival, Julian Kunzenbacher of Germany, who shot his third consecutive five under par 66.
The young German came home in spectacular fashion, birdieing four of his final five holes to keep his run of 66s going; another on the final day would surely mean that progression beckons.
There are 17 spots up for grabs at Lumine, with a total of 68 qualifying spots available to the Final Stage across all four venues.
The Final Stage takes place at European Tour Destination PGA Catalunya Resort in north-east Spain later this month, where the top 25 players plus ties will earn their playing rights for The 2015 Race to Dubai.
