Teen sensation Yanhan Zhou shoots stunning 62 to lead Austrian Alpine Open

Zhou of China, who only turned 18 last month, is the youngest DP World Tour member this season but he belied his inexperience to top the leaderboard at eight under, one shot ahead of Portuguese Ricardo Gouveia at Golfclub Kitzbühel-Schwarzsee-Reith.

Rafa Cabrera Bello, who won Austria's national open to claim his first DP World Tour title in 2009, is in a six-way share of third place alongside Marcel Schneider, Tobias Jonsson, Davis Bryant, Lucas Bjerregaard and Brandon Robinson Thompson.

Zhou has 11 wins on the China Tour, with seven of those coming last season as he romped to the Order of Merit title as a 17-year-old, and he has already shown his potential on the global stage with a tie for third on home soil at the Volvo China Open.

While he is yet to shine so far during the European Swing in Spain and Belgium, he appears to be finding his feet in impressive fashion in his rookie campaign.

"I'm just here for normal things," he said. "I'm the youngest player on the DP World Tour so I just want to play good golf.

"There are no goals for me, I just want to keep improving myself in the golf skills and the mindset."

Gouveia, who has four top top tens this season, is 16 years Zhou's senior and also bidding for a first DP World Tour win this week.

"You have got to hit fairways to create chances, I did that," he said.

"When I missed the fairways, I was able to either knock it on the green and two putt or get it up and down.

"The difference was the putter. I holed a lot of good putts, that's why my score was so low."
