Busby, who plays out of The Shropshire Golf Centre, followed up yesterday's opening 66 with a 67 at the Challenge Tour Grand Final in Italy.

That nine-under-par total left him in tied fifth and four shots off the lead.

The top 45 on the Challenge Tour order of merit have qualified for the final event of the year

Busby, 30, must climb into the top 21 this week to win a European Tour card for 2013 and is likely to require a top-two finish in Italy.
