Levet off to poor start in Open de France

Former champion Thomas Levet today suffered a nightmare start to his first round as the Alstom Open de France got under way in Paris.

Levet, who broke his leg when celebrating his win at Le Golf National in 2011 by jumping into a lake, was among the early starters and soon near the bottom of the leaderboard when he ran up a nine on the par-four 13th.
