STOCKHOLM (AFP) — Home favourite Peter Hanson carded a third round 68 to lead the SAS Masters with a ten under par total of 200 on Saturday.

The Swede has a two stroke advantage over a group of five players - Nick Dougherty, Scot Gary Orr, Dane Soren Kjeldsen and two more Swedish players in Daniel Chopra and Pelle Edberg.

"I think I've put myself a little bit too far back, but if I win tomorrow I'll change my mind about taking next week off," said Hanson.

"I want to give myself every chance.

"Of course you can feel pressure playing at home, but I think it's more inspirational."
