Eagle-eye Martin on Dunhill roll

LESS than a month after fearing for his European Tour future, Spaniard Pablo Martin charged into a four-stroke lead at the Alfred Dunhill Championship in South Africa yesterday.

Martin, whose game nose-dived after he became the circuit’s first amateur winner two years ago, followed eight birdies with a closing eagle for a dazzling 63.

The 23-year-old is on 13 under par, but title favourite Ernie Els and in-form Italian Edoardo Molinari look set to test him over the weekend.
