Landlady luck for O'Malley

Australian Peter O’Malley equalled the Carnoustie course record as he stormed into a share of the lead in the £2.5m (€3.6m) Alfred Dunhill Links championship, and then revealed how his guesthouse landlady helped keep his title bid on track.

On a day when perfect conditions led to a flurry of low scoring, the 42-year-old, a three-time winner on the European circuit, fired a rousing eight-under-par 64 over the Angus links to join South African Hennie Otto and Nick Dougherty of England at the top of the field with an 11-under aggregate of 133.
