Andersson Hed up by six at Turin

TURIN, Italy, May 8 (UPI) -- Fredrik Andersson Hed of Sweden carded a nine-under 63 Saturday, amassing a six-stroke lead after three rounds of the Italian Open in Turin.

Andersson Hed upped his lead from one to six strokes at the Royal Park I Roveri course thanks to three birdies over the final five holes and some less-than-staller play from former co-leader Miguel Angel Jimenez.

Four golfers shared third place at minus-10, including Chris Wood (65), Peter Whiteford (66), David Horsey (67) and Nicolas Colsaerts (69).
