Broadhurst leads at Forest of Arden

England’s Paul Broadhurst, without a European tour victory for nine years, thought of his six-year-old son Sam tonight after charging into the lead with a round to go in the British Masters at the Forest of Arden.

On a day when most others struggled the 38-year-old from nearby Atherstone had an incredible eight birdies for a best-of-the-day 66 that put him one in front of 43-year-old Barry Lane, whose last victory was in 1994, and Argentina’s Eduardo Romero, at 49 trying to become the oldest winner in tour history.
