Stephen Fritsch made the move he needed Thursday at the Winter Canadian Tour Qualifying School being held in Florida.
Round 3 began with the Manotick golfer in a tie for 24th and needing to play well in order to move into the top 16 – the position necessary to earn one of the 8 fully exempt and 8 non-exempt 2010 Canadian Tour cards up for grabs.
He did that with an opening 9 holes played in three under par. Unfortunately inclement weather stalled his run and postponed the remainder of the round until Friday.
At the time of the halt in proceeding Fritsch was tied for 16th.

On a day when the 1st round leader was falling back Stephen Fritsch and a whole bunch of others failed to gain any ground at the Canadian Tour Winter Q-School in Florida today.
Fritsch, who grew up in Manotick, backed up his 1st round of 72 with a 76 and now sits in a tie for 24th place. It is just one spot lower than he occupied yesterday.
With two rounds to go he will have to start firing some good numbers to make enough progress to earn playing privileges for 2010. There are 8 fully exempt and 8 non-exempt cards available at this Q-School.
American Vince Jewell still leads at 7 under par in his attempt to become a 38 year-old rookie on the Canadian Tour.
