HEREFORD'S David Park climbed the leaderboard at the Madrid Open after a fine four-under-par round of 67 left him in a tie for 24th place going into today's third round.
The Burghill Valley member was just below the projected cut-off mark after his opening 71, but yesterday he fired five birdies in a round that was only blighted by a four at the par three 17th.
Park is now just six shots behind overnight leader Paul Braodhurst of England. The 39-year-old from Warwickshire took a one-stroke lead into the third round over tournament favourite Miguel Angel Jimenez, South African Darren Fichardt and Swede Johan Edfors.
Broadhurst's last success was the 1995 French Open.
