Hanson well placed for Cup challenge

Peter Hanson lurks as the biggest danger to first round leader Shiv Kapur at the Czech Open – and to Paul Casey in the Ryder Cup race.

The 32-year-old Swede will oust the absent Casey from Europe’s top nine with victory at the Prosper Resort in Celadna on Sunday, and a five-under-par 67 has left him just one behind Kapur.
