Twin peaks the target for Lawrie in Swiss Alps

Paul Lawrie has moved on from Scotland to Switzerland to try to pull off the same double Thomas Bjorn achieved last year.

A month before his return to the Ryder Cup after a 13-year gap, Lawrie won the Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles on Sunday. Now he is out to take Bjorn’s Omega European Masters title as well — and the pair will go head to head in the opening two rounds at Crans-sur-Sierre. Peter Hanson is the only other member of Jose Maria Olazabal’s side in a field which also includes 57-year-old Greg Norman and Chinese amateur Andy Zhang, the 14-year-old who in June became the youngest-ever player to qualify for the US Open.

There is also Hanson’s fellow Swede Kristoffer Broberg, whose recent form has been nothing short of sensational.
