Paul Casey shot a 6-under 66 and Peter Hanson had a 67 on Saturday to share the third-round lead in the Volvo Champions.

Casey finished a bogey-free round and Hanson dropped just one shot — on his first hole.

They were at 16-under 200, while Darren Clarke (67) and James Kingston (67) were another shot back.

The leading eight players were separated by only three shots in the new European Tour event in Bahrain.

Casey and Hanson shrugged off slow starts and made many birdies in the middle portion of the Colin Montgomerie-designed Royal Golf Club course.
