As well as putting himself in line for the biggest win and the biggest pay-day of his long career the 41-year-old knew he was guaranteeing himself the newspaper coverage he felt he was due when he shared the first-round pace.

Making reference to what he called "The Justin Rose Show", Broadhurst had matched the 26-year-old's opening 66, but then struggled to find his name in a headline anywhere.

"I went to the papers on Friday hoping to read about myself and I didn't," said the former Ryder Cup player, who now has a chance to win the European Tour's flagship event five years after his career was hanging by a thread. I got a couple of lines and it annoyed me a little bit. That will be in the papers, won't it?"

Fisher is the same age as Rose and, although he does not yet have the same high profile, that will change if he is the one to lift the first prize of almost £480,000.

While joint halfway leader Rose fell back into fifth place with a 73, Fisher had a rollercoaster ride of a 69 on the very course where he learnt to play the game.
