Lynn's ambitions won't go west

David Lynn is too much of a home bird to join the ranks of European golfers on the US Tour.

Lynn claimed his first tournament victory last year and was one of six players sharing the lead on six under par going into today's second round of the Wales Open at Celtic Manor. The 31-year-old Englishman would love to break into the world's top 50, but he has no intention of going west in search of ranking points.

"In an ideal world I would play a couple of events in America, but my allegiance will always be to Europe," he said. "It is amazing what having just one day at home can mean. It sets you up for another week."

Lynn shared the lead with Gary Emerson, James Heath, Miguel Angel Jimenez, Peter Senior and Benoit Teilleria after opening rounds of 63.
