Levy’s 62 takes him into the lead

Unheralded Frenchman Alexander Levy thrust himself into the spotlight with a 10-under-par 62 — the lowest score of his career — in the second round of the Volvo China Open.

The world number 282, in his second season on the European Tour, raced into a four-shot lead after posting the course record at the Genzon Golf Club in Shenzhen with some blistering scoring.

Levy carded eight birdies and an eagle in a blemish-free round which catapulted him into contention.
