Barry Lane, Paul Broadhurst, Rafa Echenique qualify for Open

Barry Lane, Paul Broadhurst and Rafa Echenique have qualified for The British Open after impressive performances at St Annes Old Links.

Broadhurst, 46, finished on five-under to win the 36-hole final qualifying event yesterday with rounds of 70 and 67.

Meanwhile, Lane carded a second-round 70 to finish a shot back in joint second alongside Argentinian Echenique.

Broadhurst's round of 63 at St Andrews in 1990 has yet to be bettered in any major.
