Lane on track

England’s Barry Lane, playing his 499th European tour event and without a win for 10 years, jumped into a two-stroke lead in the final round of the Daily Telegraph Damovo British Masters at the Forest of Arden today.

Resuming one behind Paul Broadhurst, 43-year-old Lane birdied the third and fifth and then chipped in from 50 feet at the long seventh for an eagle that took him to 14 under par.
