Jimenez in trouble as Manassero struggles in Paris

Miguel Angel Jimenez’s defence of the Alstom French Open title was in severe danger of ending at the halfway stage after a horror start to his second round at Le Golf National near Paris today.

Level par and joint 33rd overnight, the 47-year-old Spaniard followed a bogey at the 10th – his first – with a quadruple bogey eight on the 427-yard 13th.
