Jacobson keeps cup hopes alive

Swede Fredrik Jacobson charged into a share of the lead as he tried to grab a Ryder Cup place in Munich today.

Joint fifth overnight, Jacobson birdied three of the first five holes to join Thomas Levet and Miguel Angel Jimenez on 15 under par and with Ian Poulter - ninth in the standings – running up a double-bogey seven on the sixth to drop to seven under and outside the top 40 he was suddenly the one in danger.
