Garcia, Khan share Mallorca Classic lead

MALLORCA, Spain, Oct. 16 (UPI) -- Spain's Sergio Garcia had a 2-under 68 Saturday to move into a share of the lead with Englishman Simon Khan after three rounds of the Mallorca Classic.

Garcia and Khan were at 9-under 201 after 54 holes.

Markus Brier shot a 67 to finish two shots off the pace at 203. Spain's Carlos Rodiles was at 204, while countrymen Santiago Luna and Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano shared fifth at 205.

Garcia seeks his second European Tour title in his native country.

"It was a really difficult day," said Garcia, a four-time winner on the European Tour. "The wind was blowing really hard at times and it was definitely good to get it going a little bit with a few birdies."

Khan earned his first European Tour title earlier this year in Wales.
