DAN BACK ON TRACK

- FROM JACK RATHBORN in Antalya

DANNY WILLETT says he is no longer “Humpty Dumpty” after closing to within two shots of Justin Rose at the Turkish Airlines Open.

The former Masters champ (right) shot 65 yesterday to join Thorbjorn Olesen and Tom Lewis on 10 under. Willett, plagued by back pain since winning at Augusta in 2016, is now off painkiller­s and added: “I was Humpty Dumpty: when I finished playing you had to put me back together again. Now I can practise more.” Rose’s second 65 of the week means he goes into the final two rounds as 5-6 favourite to retain his title.
