Former Ryder Cup golfer Barry Lane has died aged 62 following a short illness.

The English star was a five-time winner on the European Tour and an eight-time Legends Tour winner. He made 693 starts on the DP World Tour, putting him fourth on the Tour’s all-time appearance list, and he was also a member of the 1993 Ryder Cup team that lost to the United States at The Belfry.

One of the most popular figures around, Lane was in Mauritius in December for the 2022 Legends Tour’s MCB Tour Championship. There he presented the renamed Barry Lane Rookie of the Year trophy to Brazil’s Adilson Da Silva.
