Robert Karlsson: Swede shares lead in Mexico
Robert Karlsson remained on track to complete his leg of a Swedish double this weekend by retaining a share of the lead after the third day of the OHL Classic at Mayakoba.
The 44-year-old, who won the European Order of Merit back in 2008, was on 15 under after seven holes of his third round when darkness halted play in Mexico.
He will return to the El Camaleon course on Sunday as his compatriot Henrik Stenson looks to wrap up victory in the DP World Tour Championship and secure the Race to Dubai.
