Green magic leads to Lynn's lowest round ever

DAVID LYNN attributed the lowest round of his professional career to his success on the greens after an opening 63 gave him a one-stroke lead in the KLM Open in Holland.

Lynn started superbly with birdies on the first three holes, including a 20ft putt on the second and 30ft effort on the third.

He made another birdie on the seventh and, after dropping a shot at the 11th, bounced back immediately by hitting a three iron to 25ft and sinking the putt for an eagle three on the 486-yard 12th.
