Thomas Bjorn & Soren Hansen share lead

Thomas Bjorn shot a 6-under 66 Saturday to share the third-round lead of the Mercedes-Benz Championship.

Fellow Dane Soren Hansen lost a three-stroke lead with bogeys on his last three holes, settling for a 71 after his shot hit the water on the 18th. Both are at 12-under 204.

Bjorn had six birdies, despite having played just once in the last seven weeks so he could spent time with his children.

Alastair Forsyth of Scotland shot a career-best 62, firing nine birdies, an eagle and a bogey, to finish a stroke behind the leaders. Lee Westwood (72) Simon Khan (69) and Richard Green (66) shared fourth place.

"I was just happy there wasn't a cut after the opening day," said Forsyth, who began with a 76.

Bernhard Langer shot a 70, leaving him tied for seventh. John Daly took himself out of contention with a 76, laboring to five bogeys on his front nine.
