CASTELLON, Spain (AP) Michael Jonzon of Sweden shot a 6-under 65 to take a one-stroke lead the Castello Masters after the third round on Saturday.

Jonzon was at 16-under 197 at Club de Campo del Mediterraneo.

Martin Kaymer of Germany and Sergio Garcia of Spain were tied for second. Kaymer had a 68 and Garcia shot a 67 after finishing his second round in the morning because play on Friday had been halted by failing light.

Sam Hutsby of England was another shot back after a 66 in his third European Tour event as a professional.

"I'm enjoying every minute," Hutsby said. "It's not really sunk in yet that I'm playing on Tour. Hopefully, I can sleep well tonight and then keep to my course-management plan under pressure."

Kaymer will go top of The Race to Dubai standings if he wins Castello, his first event since breaking some toes in a go-kart crash in August.
