O'Malley makes super start

Australian Peter O’Malley, famous for the greatest-ever finish in European Tour history, produced a marvellous start today to charge from five behind to two in front at the French Open.

The 38-year-old resumed at Le Golf National near Paris on five under par, but birdied the first three holes and then picked up further strokes on the fifth, eighth and ninth to turn in a brilliant 30.
