The desperation of Q school can be boiled down to this 13-second video.

You probably have not heard of Rocco Repetto Taylor, but the 23-year-old Spaniard, No. 538 in the World Ranking, just finished Round 5 of the six-round DP World Tour Qualifying School in Spain. He’s tied for third entering the final 18 holes, one shot off the lead and four shots clear of a tie for 15th place, the bubble line where all players earn DP World Tour playing rights for 2027. Reptto Taylor played in 27 DP World Tour events this season but made just 12 cuts and didn’t have any top-20 finishes. He had to advance through second stage to get to the finals in his home country, and he was sitting pretty until he reached this sixth hole. This aggressive shot is understandable given the circumstances. He would make a double bogey but impressively didn’t let the bad hole get to him. He birdied the next and finished the round with a 67, to accompany the 68-66-66-64 in his previous rounds. The real pressure hits on Wednesday, and there’s no cheering in the press box, but there’s a bit part of us that’s rooting for Rocco.
