Layne leads by a stroke

CANADA-BASED Stephen Layne will be the man to beat today over the last 18 holes when the 10th Royal Bank Classic concludes at the Barbados Golf Club’s Durants course.

Layne shot an even par 72 to lead the championship flight by one stroke yesterday, as Barbados players Scott Stollmeyer and Julian Jordan also had good rounds to remain within striking distance.

Stollmeyer, who had an eagle on No.15, shot a gross 73 for second place, while Jordan, who won the Massy United Insurance Open in September, was third with a gross 74.

Both Jordan, who shot 36 on the first nine, and Layne, who registered six birdies over the first 18 holes, said they were aiming for low scores and a place on the podium today.
