Barry walks down memory lane in Singapore

WITH his 500th European Tour event looming, England's Barry Lane finds himself in contention for his first victory in a decade.

Lane carded a superb second round 65 in the Caltex Masters in Singapore, his 496th event since joining the tour in 1982.

It gave the 43-year-old a share of second place on eight under par alongside Ireland's Damien McGrane, New Zealand's Eddie Lee, India's Jyoti Randhawa and American Greg Hanrahan, one shot behind surprise leader Mardan Mamat from Singapore.
