Cevaer takes early lead in Beijing

Frenchman Christian Cevaer fired a six-under-par 66 to grab the early lead in the Volvo China Open at the Honghua International Golf Club in Beijing.

Cevaer set the early pace by taking a one-stroke clubhouse lead in front of Englishmen Ross Fisher, Simon Dyson and Simon Wakefield, Spaniard Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano and Sweden’s Peter Hanson, who all shot 67 in sunny conditions.
