Richard Bland
SOUTHAMPTON'S Richard Bland is in line for his first win of the season after a sensational third round at the Lexus Open, in Norway.
The 35-year-old shot an eight-under-par 64 to put himself at 14-under for the tournament, giving him the lead of the Challenge Tour event when he came off the course.
Bland's round included nine birdies, with a string of five consecutive ones from the 12th to 16th holes, helping him back in just 29.
The Stoneham golfer finished tied second at last week's Challenge of Ireland and a win tomorrow could all but seal his European Tour card for next season.
