Lynn on the boil in China despite embarrassing problem
ENGLAND'S David Lynn holds a one-shot lead after the second round of the Volvo China Open, despite feeling the effects of a painful boil on his groin.
The Stoke player put himself in title contention with a superb five-under-par 67 at the Honghua International Golf Club. At nine under, Lynn is a stroke clear of Portugal's Jose Filipe Lima, Thailand's Prayad Marksaeng and Zimbabwe's Marc Cayeux.
Lynn, 32, who won the KLM Open in 2004, fired nine birdies but also carded two bogeys and a double bogey on the 18th. "I'd rather be leading than chasing. I will try to keep it going tomorrow," said Lynn, who developed a boil from a suspected mosquito bite.
"I saw the doctor on Monday and it got quite bad on Wednesday and Thursday. I couldn't really line up my putts." Lynn has now had the boil removed. "It takes your mind off golf."
Lima added a 69 to his opening 67, Marksaeng matched Lynn's 67 while Cayeux fired a brilliant 65. Champion Paul Casey returned a 68 to move to four off the lead.
