Donald hopes to book ticket to Ryder

Luke Donald fired a course-record 65 in the Scandinavian Masters to send European captain Bernhard Langer a timely reminder ahead of the Ryder Cup.

Donald carded seven birdies and no bogeys at Barseback for a 10-under-par halfway total of 134 and three-shot lead over fellow cup hopeful Paul McGinley and Sweden’s Johan Edfors.
