Former Ryder Cup player and five-times European Tour winner Barry Lane has died at the age of 62 after a short illness, the DP World Tour said in a statement on Sunday.
Lane made 693 starts on the European Tour, which is now known as the DP World Tour, and is fourth on the Tour’s all-time appearance list.“To have seen such a level of success across both the European Tour and the now Legends Tour shows his dedication to the game of golf and he was a much-loved figure on both tours. The renaming of the Legends Tour’s Rookie of the Year trophy in his honor is a fitting tribute, and I’m delighted he had the opportunity to present it in December.
Barry Lane was a prince of a guy. He will be missed. RIP,” tweeted fellow British player and two-time major champion Tony Jacklin. The Englishman also played at the 1993 Ryder Cup, where Team Europe were defeated by the United States at The Belfry.Barry Lane at the Scottish Senior Open on Sept. 12, 2021.“RIP barry – sweetest guy to the very end and coming all the way to Mauritius a few weeks ago, despite very ill health, to say goodbye to all his Tour family says a lot to his bravery & to the close kinship & friendships we all form on Tour,” Irish golf veteran Paul McGinley tweeted.
