Outsiders shine in Paris

The French Open’s recent reputation for springing surprises continued today when Welshman Kyron Sullivan and South African James Kamte, ranked only 421st and 386th in the world, took the first-round lead at Le Golf National.

While former winner Philip Walton crashed to an horrendous 89 including a 12 on the 18th – not even the worst score of the day there – the two little-known players returned six under-par 65s.
