Romero rolls back the years at French Open

Eduardo Romero looks like threatening Des Smyth's record as the oldest winner in European Tour history as he produced a dazzling second round in the French Open at Le Golf National near Paris today.

Six behind Jean Van de Velde after an opening 70, 50-year-old Romero went to the turn in a six- under-par 29 and then added three more birdies coming home for a nine-under course record 62.
