Age no barrier for Romero after sparkling record 62

EDUARDO ROMERO, 51 on July 17, has the opportunity to become the oldest winner in European tour history this weekend - after a dazzling course record 62 in the French Open yesterday.

Age no barrier for Romero after sparkling record 62

The round, which also equalled his lowest-ever score in 352 events on the circuit, took Romero to 10 under par and into a two-stroke lead over Jean Van de Velde, Jonathan Lomas and Soren Hansen.

At last Romero had something other than a tale of woe to phone home about. Prior to this week the Argentinian, not wanting to switch to seniors golf yet, had played six tournaments, missed the halfway cut in five of them and earned just £5,500. He is 248th on the Order of Merit.
