Shanghai (AFP) - Europe's top golfers halted their final rounds in the BMW Masters in Shanghai at midday (0400 GMT) Sunday to observe a minute's silence in tribute to the victims of the Paris attacks.

As airhorns sounded to mark noon, all 78 players, caddies, officials and thousands of Chinese spectators at the flagship European Tour event stood in silence to honour the memory of the more than 120 victims of Friday's multiple attacks.
