ROME (AP) — Matthieu Pavon shot the lowest round of his European tour career at the Italian Open on the same course that will host this year’s Ryder Cup. The 30-year-old Frenchman hit an 8-under 63 to boost his chances of capturing European captain Luke Donald’s attention.

Julien Guerrier of France and China’s Wu Ashun were three shots off the lead.
