Benjamin Herbert in the running for China Open after birdie spree

A spectacular burst of scoring vaulted France's Benjamin Hebert into contention for a first European Tour title in the weather-disrupted Volvo China Open on Saturday.

Hebert began the third round at Topwin Golf and Country Club six shots off the lead, but raced to the turn in just 29 shots to join Chile's Felipe Aguilar and Sweden's Alex Noren at the top of the leaderboard.
