Four-way tie in Cologne

The Mercedes-Benz Championship in Cologne had a four-way tie for the lead with 12 holes to play today.

Overnight pacesetter Peter Hanson was caught by fellow Swede Henrik Stenson, South African James Kingston and Dane Anders Hansen on 11 under par.

Only one behind were Soren Hansen – no relation to Anders – and England’s Simon Dyson as the battle for the €319,000 first prize tightened up.
