Trio in Czech play-off

Ryder Cup-chasing Swede Peter Hanson, needing to win the Czech Open to move into Europe’s top nine with one week of the race to go, went into a play-off with Ireland’s Peter Lawrie and England’s Gary Boyd today.

Hanson was four clear with a round to go, but had three successive bogeys early on and, after climbing back into the lead, double-bogeyed the 12th.
