Thai veteran Thongchai Jaidee made a stunning start to the third round of the French Open at Le Golf National on Saturday. Having just made the halfway cut by two strokes after rounds of 70 and 74, Thongchai needed a big early effort to get back in contention and that he did by birdieing the first six holes. Thongchai, who has won six times on the European tour, came close
