COLOGNE, Germany (AP) Former champion Pablo Larrazabal made five birdies for a 5-under 67 to claim the overnight lead going into the final day of the BMW International Open on Saturday.
The Spaniard, who won the tournament in 2011, finished strongly and holds a three-shot lead at 17-under par, with eight players tied for second on 14 under.
Emiliano Grillo would be closer but for a double bogey on the final hole. The Argentine is tied with former winners Thomas Bjorn (2000 and 2002), Henrik Stenson (2006) and Robert Karlsson (1997), as well as Francesco Molinari, Carlos Del Moral, Rafa Cabrera-Bello and Richard Green, who catapulted himself into contention with the round of the tournament. The Australian made eight birdies and an eagle for a 10-under 62.
