Molinari off to a flyer in Paris

Italian Francesco Molinari made a spectacular start to his last nine holes to lead the Alstom French Open at Le Golf National near Paris today.

Molinari, with a chance to move from 12th to fifth in the Ryder Cup race, holed a 138-yard nine-iron for an eagle on the 10th and then made a 20-footer for another two at the short 11th.
