CELADNA, Czech Republic, Aug. 21 (UPI) -- Peter Hanson caught fire at the 13th hole and rode four back-nine birdies to a four-stroke lead after three rounds of the Czech Open.

The Swede rolled in an 8-footer for birdie on the 13th and got three more down the stretch, including a 6-footer on the final hole, to register a 5-under 67 and move into a commanding lead at Celadna in the Czech Republic.

Hanson completed 54 holes at 12-under-par 204, four better than course designer Miguel Angel Jimenez (67) and Simon Dyson, who shot 3-under 69 to finish minus-10.

Phillip Price ended Saturday alone in fourth at 7-under 209 thanks to a round of 69 Saturday at the Prosper Golf Resort.

Tied for fifth at 6-under 210 were Gary Boyd (68), Stephen Gallacher (68) and Richard Bland (71).

Second-round co-leader Fredrik Widmark, meanwhile, had a tough day, falling to a 2-over 74 to drop into a tie for ninth at minus-5.
