Jacquelin well placed for maiden tour victory

Just a week after England’s John Bickerton won his first European Tour title at the 287th attempt, Frenchman Raphael Jacquelin is poised to make it 238th time lucky.

The 31-year-old from Lyon goes into the final 18 holes of the Madrid Open seven ahead, a third successive 64 having taken him to a 21-under-par total of 192 which equals the tour record set by Tiger Woods in the NEC World Championship five years ago.
