Baker eyes career comeback after shooting 67

Former Ryder Cup star Peter Baker gave himself the chance to re-ignite his career with a five-under-par 67 when the Madeira Islands Open began today.

The 39-year-old from Wolverhampton, one of Ian Woosnam's assistants in last September's victory over the Americans in Ireland, lost his European Tour card three years ago and relies mostly on invitations for the chance to play now.
