Broadhurst takes charge as Sandelin clings to Tour survival

ENGLAND'S Paul Broadhurst grabbed the halfway lead in the €1.4 million Mallorca Classic at Pula yesterday - but the European tour career of another former Ryder Cup star was left hanging by a thread.

While Broadhurst was adding a 66 to his opening 67 for a seven under par total of 133, one better than Jose Maria Olazabal, Swede Jarmo Sandelin needs the weekend of his life to avoid returning to the tour qualifying school.

Sandelin, part of Europe's team against the USA in Boston in 1999, feared the worst when he went out of bounds and triple-bogeyed the 12th, then three-putted the last for a 73.
