Hanson closes the gap

Peter Hanson, the Swede who holed-in-one in a play-off to qualify for the US Open last month, did not need anything as dramatic as that to cut Martin Kaymer’s lead to just one shot at the French Open Alstom in Paris today.

With birdies at the 10th and 13th – he resumed on the back nine – Hanson moved to eight under par and into solo second place.
