Nicole Forshner has put herself in position to make the final round cut at the Ladies European Tour q-school in Spain.
The Banff, Alta., golfer posted her best round of the week - a 74 - which leaves her tied for 35th through three rounds of the five round final qualifier.
Only the top 50 and ties will advance to the final round on Sunday.
Starting on the back nine of the South Course at La Manga Club in Spain, Forshner birdied three of her first five holes to go out in 35. On the front nine, she ran into some difficulty with three bogeys and a birdie. In her first round on the South Course, she carded a 78.
Forshner finds herself tied with fellow Canadian Ashley Smith, who came up with her worst round of the week so far, shooting 78 on the North Course. That dropped her 13 places on the leaderboard after starting the day in a tie for 22nd.
After starting with a birdie on No. 3, the Calgary golfer bogeyed four of her final six holes to go out in 38. The back nine featured a double bogey 5 on the par-3 13th and back-to-back bogeys to close out the round.
Following Saturday's cut, the top 30 will earn their tour card at the conclusion of the final round on Sunday.
Former Swedish world amateur champion Caroline Hedwall continues to lead the way, holding a six stroke advantage over her nearest challenger despite posting her worst round of the three days.
