Age no barrier for Romero

Eduardo Romero, 51 on July 17, has the opportunity to become the oldest winner in European tour history this weekend – after a dazzling course record 62 in the French Open today.

The round, which also equalled his lowest-ever score in 352 events on the circuit, took Romero onto the 10 under par halfway total of 132 and into a two-stroke lead over Jean Van de Velde, Jonathan Lomas and Soren Hansen.
