MONZA, Italy — Martin Kaymer opened with four straight birdies on his way to a 7-under 65 Saturday to grab a share of the lead after the third round of the Italian Open.
The former top-ranked German had his lone bogey on the fifth but added another four birdies to sit tied with Jens Fahrbring of Sweden and Frenchman Romain Wattel atop the leaderboard with a 17-under total of 199.
"I am looking forward to tomorrow — it will be a challenge to myself and a challenge to beat my opponents," said Kaymer, who is looking for a first win since triumphing at last year's U.
