Ailing Kaymer serves up blistering round

Blistering heat and a blistered foot served only to bring out the best in young German star Martin Kaymer in Paris today.

The 24-year-old began the French Open Alstom with a course record-equalling 62 at Le Golf National – 10 better than Padraig Harrington, who now has a fight on his hands to avoid a fifth successive missed cut just two weeks before his bid for an Open hat-trick at Turnberry.
