Jonzon sets early pace

Swede Michael Jonzon, a lowly 187th on the Order of Merit, raced into an early two-stroke lead today at the Omega European Masters – opening event of the 12-month race for places in Europe’s Ryder Cup team.

With the Swiss Alps bathed in sunshine the 33-year-old followed three birdies and a bogey in his first six holes with an eagle two on the 330-yard seventh.
