ASH, England (Reuters) - India's Jeev Milkha Singh, Stephen Dodd of Britain, Spain's Jose Manuel Lara and Australian Marcus Fraser were locked in a four-way tie for the lead midway through the European Open final round on Sunday.

On another sun-baked day at the London Club in Kent, tricky winds again made life difficult for the players.

Dodd was playing the best golf of the leaders, cramming six birdies in a 12-hole surge to reach seven-under-par through 16 holes.

Lara and Fraser were also seven-under after 12 while joint overnight leader Singh was through nine.

Singh failed to manage a single birdie as he limped to the turn in 38, two over.

Former British Open champion Ben Curtis was leading in the clubhouse on four-under 284 after equalling the best round of the day so far, a four-under 68.

World number four Sergio Garcia also registered a 68 to end his campaign with a two-under tally of 286.
