Sweden's Fredrik Andersson Hed shot a 9-under 63 Saturday for a six-stroke lead after the third round of the Italian Open.
Andersson Hed made 10 birdies to total 17-under 199. Preferred lies were used after days of heavy rain, so he couldn't claim a course record at the Royal Park Roveri.
Andersson Hed is looking for his first European Tour win in his 245th tournament since his debut in 1995.
``I think I played the best golf of my life,'' he said. ``Not only was my driving and short game good, but my putting as well.''

Miguel Angel Jimenez of Spain made five straight birdies to trail with a 68. Four players were seven shots behind Andersson Hed.
