Golf: Nobilo set for comeback

New Zealand golf great Frank Nobilo may be about to launch a comeback, almost five years after his career appeared over due to a serious back injury.

Nobilo's name is among many listed for the PGA Tour's qualifying school in the United States, the first stage of which starts on October 31.

As a previous winner on tour, Nobilo, now 47, would gain exempt entry to the second stage, starting at six venues on November 14.
