Owen sets out determined to prove his critics wrong

AFTER 19 top 10 finishes and not a win or second place amongst them, English golfer Greg Owen is a man on a mission this weekend.

The 31-year-old takes a three-stroke lead into the third round of the Algarve Portuguese Open at Vale do Lobo and is determined to prove his detractors wrong.

Owen, eight under par at halfway after a second round 70 full of thrills and spills, said his wife had heard some criticism of him on a TV broadcast. He was clearly fired up by it.
